EPICon 2008 Portland, Oregon

March 6 - 9, 2008

...and a great time was had by all!

What's better than good friends, great conversation, interesting workshops, good food and spending time with people who "get it?"

"Get what?" you ask. Well, who other than writers understands what you mean when you say your characters have minds of their own? Only another author can sympathize when you tell them, "My character asked, 'You want me to do WHAT?'"

The New Voices kids were a joy to be around. Alex, the only boy, joined our class or Writing Nonfiction, and contributed, too, once he got over his shyness! His mother could have lit up the room; she was just glowing. Debi Sullivan is already planning a G-rated track for Saturday next year so that the kids can have a complete class schedule to attend.

We all agreed that this conference is rather like a family reunion - but of family we choose to be around, not the ones we're stuck with!

Here are a few photos from this year's event:
