Shanda, Sheila and Mindy summarize their 2012 LDStorymakers Conference experience. They discuss a few points from classes that helped them most improve their writing and how they plan to implement what they learned. Whether or not you attended this year’s conference, we hope you enjoy this installment of the LDSWBR podcast. It really is great to be back!

I look forward to LDStorymakers Conference almost as much as Christmas. Maybe more.
Even though I live only 45 minutes away, I book a hotel room and show up Thursday and stay until Sunday. It’s the only time each year my kids get the chance to miss me. Or not. :)
The craziest dinner I’ve ever attended was Thursday’s dinner at La Dolce Vita. There was such a good turn out that we couldn’t hear the person sitting next to us without yelling. Oh yes, we might all be writers, but we are excellent talkers, too.
There were easily 50 or 60 or 75 or more people packed into that large room. See for yourself…
Sheila and I were next to Lisa Mangum and Sheralyn Pratt and we had a great time with these amazing women. I snagged a pic with Lisa, Sheralyn and Julianne Donaldson, author of Edenbrooke (which I loved!)
We also found our sweet friend, Chantele Sedgwick.
There were so many great people at the dinner that we didn’t get a chance to get photos with so we’ll try to fix that over the next two days of the conference.
I’m already looking forward to next year’s dinner. And maybe I’ll bring earplugs, lol.
