I am so EXCITED / NERVOUS, I can hardly stand it! I mean, there will be editors there from Random House, Bloomsbury, and Harper Collins, and I will get a chance to pitch my book to them! If you couldn't really care less who publishers are, I'd like to take a moment to say, THEY'RE HUGE! Hence the nervous part. Although, I'm pretty darn excited about the rocking authors that are coming.
To prepare, I've made a list, and checked it at least twice.
- Decided which workshop classes to go to...... Check.
- Packed lots of munchies...... Check.
- Wrote out a detailed list of what needs to happen with my kids while I'm gone..... Check.
- Finished my book...... Okay, so not check. (I really tried, though. And I'm close. But I promised Heavenly Father that I would do everything I could to never let my writing compulsion negatively impact my family. Finishing would have negatively impacted my family. I figure HF will look out for me from here.)
- Edited my first three chapters, just in case someone asks me to submit it (and cross fingers that they will)..... Check.
- Stood in the line in heaven where apparently they handed out kids and a spouse that are supportive way beyond what I could ever dream they'd be..... Check.
So, why do I feel so UN-ready?

I hope you have fun, glad your book is about done, I hope they like it. (did you see I used 2 comma's and a period, WOW) ha ha
Those HUGE publishers are just WAITING for you to walk in the door! Not only do you have a supportive family, but lots of supportive friends who can't wait for you to publish a book we can obsess over! Have fun!
Peg, I am so proud of you! You are just a wonder to me. I wonder where you come from and where you got all that talent. I am so happy you are able to go.
