My coverage of the 2015 Writer’s Digest Conference begins today at DIY MFA! This first article shares several quotes that have stuck with me. And since other attendees have Tweeted these and other quotes over the past couple weeks using the hashtag #WDC15, it seems like the messages conveyed during the conference have resonated with many who were there. 🙂
Stay tuned for Part Two of my WDC coverage at DIY MFA tomorrow!
Did you also attend this year’s Writer’s Digest Conference? What are some of your most memorable quotes from that event, or from other literary conference you’ve attended?

I wish I could have gone! Sounds like a blast.
The weirdest thing happened though when I tried to access your blog just now, though… Firefox tried to keep me out, Firewall Sirens blaring… maybe it was just a fluke though. 😛

That’s weird… No one has ever told me they’d had problems like that before while accessing the site. Maybe it was a fluke, like you’d said?
Maybe you’ll have a chance to attend conferences like WDC again once you’re back in Canada. 🙂 Although I’m not too familiar with what kinds of literary events happen on the West Coast…

Yeah, it’s happened three times now. The browser keeps saying your certificate is bad. Maybe I need to clear my cache.

I just checked out those quotes – they’re so wonderful! Great post from DYI MFA, Sara! I’ll be sure to check out the part two. This conference sounds like a whirlwind but so amazingly educational at the same time; I can’t imagine how busy you must have been!

Thanks, Rae! Part 2 of my WDC coverage actually went up yesterday (I wasn’t expecting it to happen that quickly). And yes, it was a whirlwind, but one of the learning experiences I’ve ever had. 🙂

Agreed! Even when you prepare an outline, things don’t always go according to plan. 😉
