Storymakers conference 2018 was a smashing success this year.
One of the highlights for me is to see all my writing friends.
Here are some of my Reality Writers friends!

Tanya and I were missing our friend, Amy, who had a graduating senior this year and lots of family obligations. So we sent her a picture and told her to plan on next year!
And this is my weekly critique group.

After 4 years of entering the First Chapter contest...I finally won! I won Second place in the General Fiction category! I was so shocked! I haven't plotted out the rest of this book yet, but maybe now I will.
Both my Reality Writers and weekly critique group helped me polish this chapter up. I couldn't have done it without them!
Here I am with my award certificate.
Keri from my weekly group won 3rd in YA general fiction and Krista from Reality Writers won first in nonfiction and was runner up in a tie for overall first place. It's good to be surrounded by good writers and awesome friends!
