In April I attended Desert Dreams 2012, and it was completely awesome. The people running the conference are top-notch. I had a great time even though I'm not a romance writer. I won't hesitate to go again.
More than that, I've got an itch. I want to go to more conferences. I want to be with other writers and agents. These are
my people. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a budget to work with, but I'm going to be keeping my eye out now. But until I can get to another writing conference, I'll indulge in the next best thing: Phoenix Comicon.
