Good news! The postcards came in just in time for the Pet Writing Conference! Speaking of, this morning I sent an e-mail to the Pet Writing Conference because the trains in the northeast are running on a limited schedule and the ladies I was planning on traveling with were planning on taking a later train which would put us in NYC 15 minutes before registration ends and it is a 20 minute walk from the train station. I immediately had a phone call from Charlotte Reed who is the one putting the conference on. We had a lovely 20 minute chat and she gave me some really awesome suggestions, from when to arrive to what to wear (or what not to wear.)
She was so adorable, she told me to take the earlier train, sit in the front car with the engineer and bring a blanket and try to get some rest on the train. She also gave me her cell phone number and told me to call her when I got into the city. She was really wonderful and she made me feel like this is the right thing to do and it will all work out.
I am looking forward to sharing my experience with you and learning what is the best way to get started with this career. On that note, I wanted to thank those of you who left comments with suggestions for me, I hope you like the new theme of the blog and that it is a bit easier to read. Please don’t ever hesitate to make a suggestion to me about how I can make this better. I want to attract readers and as you are reading this, I need to know what will bring you to my blog and what will compel you to share my blog with friends and family. I look on this blog as a learning experience and the more you can share with me, the more I can learn! 🙂
