I am so humbled by the awesome support NiNoCon received over the weekend. Thank you to all who promoted and participated!
The conference was a great success and went off without a hitch. Shocking, really, considering I'd never done anything like that before and um, I forgot to schedule any breaks between classes. (What was I thinking?? Nothing, apparently ...)
But people came, the presenters all showed up and did their part, the technology worked, knowledge was gained, fun was had .... Yep! A success!
The cool thing is, that you can still benefit from all the great information, even if you weren't able to attend.
Sensei Jeff Vincent introduced the concept behind the writing dojo.
Sheralyn Pratt offered up the marketing myths we must defy in order to have success.
Mark Peter Hughes talked about moving forward in your writing without waiting for perfection.
Elana Johnson broke down some queries and helped us to see how they could be reworded more effectively.
Susan Sipal blew our minds with her lessons on how we could write powerful, exciting books like JK Rowling's HARRY POTTER series.
We had an interesting discussion about indie- and self-publishing.
Mike Mullin shared his secrets to awesome book sales, and book bloggers talked frankly about reviews, their take on author comments and many other interesting tidbits.
NiNoCon is only the beginning of learning opportunities at the dojo. Check out the dojo daily for lessons on Meditation, Warming Up, Forms & Techniques, Kicks & Tricks and Courtesy. We've got other irons in the fire, too, so don't be a stranger!
Welcome to the dojo!
May you train hard and long and never lose your love of learning.
