Writers Workshops

What is to be gained by attending a writers' workshop or conference? Short answer, much. As a writer of almost 30 years, I've been to a number of conferences, conventions, workshops, meetings, and groups' events. I don't beleive that one can ever know all of the answers,  nor have enough support for the writing life. Whether you attend a writers' function in-person or online, there is a reason to participate. You may not even be aware the purpose in your attendance, but it will come. I try and attend several every year and beyond that I condut workshops for others. The saying, teach what you want to learn, certainly applies.

So, if you've been writing and feel like you need to connect or just want to stay in-the-know, check out the writers' conferences offered all over the country online and in-person. A good resource is Shaws Guides or Writer's Digest.http://www.shawsguides.com/ or http://www.writersdigest.com/
