I did it. I attended the Gold Rush Writers Conference put on by Antoinette May, this, the fourth annual. It will take me a bit of time to filter my notes down to the essentials, but I took some photos. Take a look:

Not sure if these will work as I hope for them to. Omg, they did! Very cool, youtube.
I picked two memoir classes presented by Helen Bonner, Laptop 101 presented by Tom Johnson, and a Poetry Discussion presented by Al Young, former Poet Laureate of California and a professor at UC Berkeley. Lucy Sanna presented some relaxation and focusing tricks. I was given a chance to read four poems on Friday night (May 1), read the climax to my novel Sat. night (Sagebrush at Seven Trout Creek) and the opening of my possible future projects, a memoir, on Sunday morning in the advance memoir class by Helen Bonner.
The poems got the laughs and tears and gasps in most of all the right places. Lots of positive commentary afterwards, a spontaneous reaction that is always a joy. The novel got a great complement by Al Young, who said, "It should be a shoo-in for publishing."
I wish I had the time to write more here. In fact, I wish you had the time to comment more. It’s a good day to work on your project, though. So get to it, okay?
