The LDS Storymaker’s Conference in Provo, UT, was a fabulous experience that I highly recommend. As a writer, my skills improved from all the information, and as a person, my confidence in my newfound profession increased ten-fold.
I will share some of the awesome writing tips I learned there, so this will be the first of a series of blogs where I share notes, ideas, and even visits with such authors as James Dashner, author of The 13th reality series and the NY Best Seller, The Maze Runner. I am tickled to say that he is a charming, cool guy who puts on no airs of grandeur, but rather makes everyone around him feel at ease and confident.
So, a huge, HUGE thank you to the LDS StoryMakers for a job well done! You can be sure that I’ll be back again next year.

The conference was amazing. I learned so much! I left totally inspired! I'll be there again next year. When are you submitting your story? I'm so thrilled for you! Your writing was so beautiful. It was a little intimidating to be in your group. :) I'm glad I met you.
It was good to meet you, Wendy. Thanks for not openly mocking my characters during the Character Bible workshop. That was pretty tough stuff, but oh, so worthwhile.
I look forward to seeing you again next year!
Lani, I'll be mailing it off tomorrow. *crosses fingers!* And intimidated by me? Phsaw, I should be intimidated my you, Miss winner of the chapter contest!! (Awesome! Congrats!)I would love to read for you again -purely a selfish desire to know the rest of the story on my part-!
Don,
Your characters were great. By the end of the workshop, I felt like I had a glimpse into the lives of your characters. Will she take the bad boy? or stay with her ex-fiance who is the healthier choice? Stay tuned for the answers, right? Let me know when you get it published.
Woohoo! Another Idaho writer. :) So glad you found me. Thanks for stopping by my blog and for following.
I really wanted to go to this conference but planned for it a little too late. Maybe next year. Can't wait to read what you learned. :)
Abby, you get there next year. It was awesome. plain and simple.
