The six of us (my four sisters, my mother, and I) are always telling our friends about the wonderful times we have at the Remember the Magic summer conferences.
Notable Quotes:
The summer conference audience is both the most accepting I have ever met and the most demanding. The latter because they welcome all that can be given, so, in a way, can suck the last drop of sweat off your brow, or the last ounce of marrow in your bones. I have never felt judged nor evaluated in that audience. Rather it is as if we are all one heart and the woman on the stage is one voice for all the women in the audience. When a reading has us laughing in the aisles or weeping, we are grateful for the chance to applaud a writer who has hit us spot on.
Uplifting, rewarding, revitalizing, I could go on and on. The definition in the dictionary: "to raise to a higher level or better level." These are the words I expressed to my colleagues and friends about my experiences at the conference. It had been several years, but I longed to return. With the encouragement of my husband -- "Honey, if this is what makes you happy, then continue..." -- we turned the wheels of our motor home back around.
Thank you for keeping this forum for all of us who write and grow so much better within the warmth of the Guild. Writing keeps me healthy and happy. With my work I make a contribution to other people, encouraging and appreciating them. I believe in the transformative power of cooperation and mutual effort, so well exemplified by the Guild, which I have seen at work during the summer conference. We are not exaggerating when we speak of magic. The workshop presenters offer the highest quality of dignity and nurturing to every participant. IWWG is a safe place to be and work, a treasure. I found my first publisher through the Network!
The conference was awesome ... as usual! Thank you so much.
I loved loved loved the writing retreat. I felt full after I left.
Last year was my first time attending the Summer Conference. I didn't quite grasp the theme "Remember the Magic," but now its meaning is undeniable. When talented, strong, free-thinking women come together to support and celebrate their passion, and the essence of creativity and imagination, magic happens! I discovered the courage to write more freely and honestly than ever before...I can't wait for this year's conference!
