For the last two years I have been privilaged to host the Drink Diva’s event at the Emerald City Writers Conference. If there is one thing we writers excel at, it’s drinking and socializing. Even the most reserved author lets loose if given the right incentive and this year we danced the night away at the Lucky Strike.<\/p>\n

Playing hostess was one of my many duties at this year’s conference, including being the assistant workshop chair, participating in three workshops\u00a0and acting as a conference docent to those needing information on anything pertaining to the week’s events. I met so many wonderful people, and worked up the nerve to talk to best selling authors, agents and editors without stuttering or saying a bad word. All in all, I was very proud of how I not only expanded my comfort zone, but I\u00a0completely remodled it\u00a0like I had\u00a0a high-priced budget.<\/p>\n

What was my favorite parts of the weekend? Ohhhh…let me name a few.<\/p>\n
