Congratulations, last round's finalists. ...Wow! Congratulations, last round's finalists. Love seeing names I recognize :). As for the conference, Thank you Stephanie for mentioning it and supporting it AND working up the Back Cover Copy Contest (more on that gem on the site Monday:). <br /><br />The conference is really easy. Just like Steph said, "classes" are posted every two hours and the teachers hang out to work through prompts, homework, discussion questions or just q&A, depending on their style. Love that Stephanie AND Rachel **waves** are teaching this year. It's an amazing line up. Check it out if you have the chance. <br /><br />Best part...you can join in your jammies, you can pick it up a week or two later (if you're on vacation), or you can bookmark your favorite classes to refer to later. BUT you have to register, cause tho it's free, it is password protected (keeps the comment sections safer). We give out the passwords to all who are registered 8/1. Did I mention registrations open tomorrow:D? <br /><br />Hope to see some of your familiar avatars and some new ones too:)! Thanks again for doing so much for NextGen, Stephanie!!Shelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18021471345501145514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-84896429424316256922012-06-14T10:09:44.823-05:002012-06-14T10:09:44.823-05:00Lol, anonymous.

You know, makes it go above and beyond, makes it popular, makes it a classic? What do people like to read? And how do we write what they want to read, while writing what we want to write?<br /><br />Yeah, it's a confusing question.
