I have exciting news!
Remember that writing conference I went to a few weeks ago with Jenny and Dan?
Florida looks good on us, I think.
Well, I thought to myself, Self, I write books and know things. Maybe I know things the conference organizers would like to see in workshops.
So I applied, and guess what! My proposals were accepted and I’m officially a faculty member of the 2017 Florida Writers Association conference. I get to go to Florida and teach developing writers. Squee!
And guess what else – Dan’s proposals were accepted too! So we get to be partners in crime. And since he did his announcement post first, I’m totally stealing his links.
If you wanna look at a bunch of picture from this year, click HERE
If you wanna see what they – we – have planned for 2017 click HERE
If you wanna just hang out at the bar and buy me drinks, click HERE – then register, and come on down! I’ll probably even plan a trip to Epcot Food and Wine Festival for special friends who come.
So on October 19-22, 2017, if you live in the Orlando area or need an excuse to travel to Florida, come check us out! I’ll be at the pool!
I mean the classrooms. I’ll be in the classrooms. Because teaching. Hehe.

Congratulations and welcome to the faculty. FWA members will benefit greatly from having you as a presenter (and from having me as one, too, of course). We just need Jenny to finish her application to complete the trifecta.
It’s gonna be a blast working with new writers and showing them what we’ve learned.

Thanks! It will be a blast. I think I’ll bring some funny costumes to wear in your workshops. Act like everything is normal though.

George Washington! I was thinking a lobster. Or a banana.

Presenting at a writers conference could be good training for the webinar the three of us intend to produce one day. We could discuss that poolside. That way it’s still work.

Congrats, Allison.
You and Dan are having too much fun with this. 🙂
It sounds like an educationally (me thinks that’s a word.) great time.
