Sorry it took so long but if you are anyone who knows me you know that I have the bad habit of procrastinating. Also, it's Sully's fault, his contagious AWP sickness finally made it's way to me!
Aside from that and more on AWP! It was a great experience. I like to consider myself an up and coming writer, learning the in's and out's of the whole writing industry so to be among so many established writers was incredible. Before I realized that I really wanted to write novels, I believed that anyone who had a book out on the shelf in a store had to be doing something right, you know pleasing their audience and that they were making mad money doing it. I always thought they were like VIP. And even though I now understand that not many people actually make a living out of writing, and some may not be well known as others, I still thought it was an incredibly big deal to be there. I learned a lot from the panels.
Another great thing that I got out of attending AWP, was my first trip to NY!! I know, I know, it's pretty lame to be a twenty year old college student and never traveled to NY...but guess what? NOW I HAVE!!!! I had a great time too, especially the last night @ the open-mic. I'll comment on that the next time though.
