Four the past four days I attended the Mystery Writers Conference in Corte Madera, which is a little north of San Francisco. It’s the third time I’ve attended in about six years. I always find it so inspiring. There are many well-known authors who form the faculty of this event. The conference covers every possible subject from plotting to polishing your manuscript. Although much of it was not new to me as I’ve been writing for some time and have won awards, there are always some take-aways. The biggest for me was that I was advised in a consult with my favorite agent to revise the sequence of the book. I may do that, and that is huge, but will make the book more exciting!
