Tomorrow morning my dear friend and writing accountablity partner will be packing her bags and leaving. While I will miss her, I am very excited at the same time. No, she is not leaving forever, but instead venturing on a journey of a lifetime.
Lisa is heading to the Greater Philedlphia Writer's Conference to pitch her book to agents in hopes of getting it published. This very well could be the last step that Lisa needs to take before finding her memoir on the bookshelf of Barnes & Nobel.
The past several weeks for her have been spent perfecting her elevator pitch, studying the do's and don'ts of interviewing agents, and of course deciding what to wear when she becomes discovered.
While Lisa will be missing her friends and family while gone, she will busy around the clock absorbing the huge wealth of knowledge that surrounds such conferences. The networking possibilites for her are endless, so she is going prepared with fresh contact cards and minature chocolates labeled with her name and website to hand out. Now there's a girl who knows how to get noticed!
So I bid you farewell Lisa as you embark on the first day of the rest of your life. The search begins....for your book, your sister, and a new life.
