WriteOnCon 2012 wrap-up

So, apparently, I took this week off. After dutifully commenting on posts at WriteOnCon Monday and Tuesday, I woke up Wednesday wanting to do nothing more than curl up on the couch and marathon Downton Abbey. And I did.

As a result, I didn't read, view, or participate in any WriteOnCon events, so as you can imagine, I don't have a wrap-up for you. Instead, here are links to all of the events to view at your pleasure:

I do plan on going back and reading/watching these articles/vlogs when I have a better mindset for it. I think I just needed a few days off from writing and the internet entirely. For those of you who participated in the forums, I hope you received excellent feedback on your queries and pages. I got pretty good feedback on my first pages, so that was nice.

Monday, I have a guest post from R. K. MacPherson, author of Antigone’s Fall, and I have a few interviews set up with indie authors that should pop up over the next several weeks.

Hope you all have a good weekend. :)
