And so Kidlitcon 2013 comes to an end....
I type this siting in the lobby of Kidlitcon's Austin hotel...so very happy that I was able to come here for Kidlitcon. Sure, I have loved ones in Rhode Island, but gee, there is so wonderful to be with all the great Kidlit blogger peeps. People that I had never met before in real life (like Sherry and Katy and Jennifer and Liviania and Lee Wind) are now Friends, and people I had met before are now even more Friends than they were before. Because it was small this year, it was easy to spend time with just about everyone I wanted to. So thank you, Kidlitcon 2013 organizers, for pulling it together! It was utterly lovely. And one of the things we talked about was giving yourself permission not to blog if it felt like work, and pulling my regular MG SFF round-up together feels awfully like it would be work, so it isn't going to happen today. But I will be back later today with a recap of the Blogging the Middle Grade session I organized....

It's always lovely to see you in person Charlotte! And I agree about the positive side of it being smallish this year. As always, it was a wonderful conference.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time! Yes, I totally agree, you shouldn't blog when it feels like work. :P
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes. I so enjoyed meeting you Charlotte.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, I can't get bloglovin to connect to your blog. ??? I keep typing in your address, and it says it can't find you. Did you say you use bloglovin' or feedly?
well rats--I tried to find myself on bloglovin and it fought me just the very same way, even though there are people who have somehow managed! I will investigate further....
DeleteAnd I loved meeting YOU - even if I could only attend for a short while. I can't wait to catch up on all your MG SFF recs... :)
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you in person! Now I need to write up a post about the con myself!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a good time! And I'm very much looking forward to a recap of your session, when you have a chance.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't possible to re-cap, because there was so much audience participation, but I summarized the useful thoughts I took from it here-- http://charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com/2013/11/2-cute-pictures-of-my-cat-or-what-i.html I hope you can come too some day!
