went to a writer’s conference

went to a writer’s conference last weekend.. was my first introduction into the publishing world; many of the attendees (around 150 or so) were aspiring to the day when they’d be professional writers, to get paid enough for their writing they wouldn’t have to work another job.. so a lot of the conference was inspirational, and many workshops for technical details on writing and publishing, with free time for interaction and networking.. I got the sense that there were more fiction writers than non-fiction; of course, my interests are in the philosophical theological arena, and tho’ I met a lot of people, I didn’t meet anyone with my interests.. that’s okay, very few people in the world have my interests, and that makes me unique, and if the market likes my unique offerings, then I might be a commodity some day.. as for my writing a book, it’ll come one day, soon as I can clear off a few items off my plate..
