My yard is not a democracy.

More of a dictatorship.  I just want to fill in the cracks in the walkway.

It's time!

         I attended the first annual Georgia Publishers Conference this past weekend.  It provided, for me, some much needed stimulation/motivation to complete the process of publishing a novel, which I wrote in eight months and have been editing, personally and through critique groups, for 2 1/2 years.
  
       I asked AWC for an opinion of the Conference. They opted not to exhibit, and were not too positive.  To the contrary, the 30 one-hour workshops covered all forms of publishing, writing, editing and development, marketing and promotion, legal issues, cover designs, social media platforms, blogging, book reviews, and, inspiration.
       
       If you wonder why I issued so many Linked-in invitations to connect, it is because the conference inspired me to expand my social media contacts and get serious about preparing to deal with agents and publishers.
