Oh, I wish you could go too,Debs. Especially if you reported on the sessions for your blog readers as you've done for past conferences. There's a writer's workshop that I've always longed to attend--a week at a small college in the mountains with some of Kentucky's best writers. Only problem is I just have blog posts and journals to offer up for criticism. This seems like a busy time of the year to offer a conference such as this.

I considered going, but I have so much work to do on my edits I just couldn't spare the time! It looks fantastic, though.

Chris Stovell said...

I can't go either, too far away for me, but what a fabulous programme.

Flowerpot said...

Great programme - but too far from Cornwall too!

Pauline Barclay said...

It sounds a fab weekend, sigh, I can't go too far away, but those who go should have a great time!

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

Melissa - it does, doesn't it?

faye - that writers' workshop in Kentucky sounds wonderful, I wouldnt' mind going to that too.

flowerpot - I can imagine it would take longer for you to get there than me, as I can fly to somewhere nearby.

pauline - just a little too far from Lanzarote :)
