It's been a hell of a day. I'm happy. I got to read advice from an amazing assortment of publishing experts, and tweet all about it.
And I got new shoes:
Aside from the fact that I got only a few hours of sleep last night (taking care of my 3-year-old with croup), I'm energized. I'm aaaaalmost ready to tackle revisions.
But I can wait until tomorrow.

Join us for the rest of the conference. Apparently there are prizes and things. *feigns shock but doesn't have to feign delight* Check it out in Kristal's great NYRC Day 1 Wrap-Up post. See you lovely people tomorrow. (I'm hopeful I may get some sleep tonight.)
These are so fabulous and timely for me! I'll be revising a new WIP all month and will doubtless be revisiting many of these links :) Thanks Katrina!
ReplyDeleteHi Jess! I'm so glad this is timely for you, too! I'm also mid-revision and totally loving this conference. I always learn so much from the experts.
