Writers Forum Conference?
Hey, are there any plans for a possibility of hosting a Writers Forum Convention where the members here could meet up and have a "Writing conference"? Or would this be something that is too much to be asking or suggesting?

Ha, I was just thinking about this today, actually.
But we span all around the world. It'd probably take a few hundred thousand just to get the currently active members together.

That is true, unless we have like Regional Writing Forum Conferences. Not sure how it would work though. But was on my mind the past week or so

The Backspace Forum Conference http://www.backspacewritersconference.com/ is the one I hope to make. Last year was a major networking occasion. |

Funny. I was asked to organize a writers/publisher Conference in Kingsport, TN about a month ago. Its across from the College which would bring in alot potential writers/publishers. Let me know if this sounds interesting..

Do you think all the new 13 years olds parents would let them go?? 
Not putting down the 13 year olds - just noticed a lot of new members recently all happen to be 13.
How about Vegas? Count me in. I have always wanted to go there and take time out to see Hoover Dam.

Oh wow! Then my conference would be me and... Me.
Not that there are more than a couple of you I would like to meet in real life anyway.
Why would we need to have a conference? What would be the point? And most importantly, who do you think would actually pay for it?

I would at least pay to visit another city.
I kind of like the idea, whether it's official or just a casual "let's meet in this city" kind of thing. I'm curious to see what people are like in person -- sometimes personalities don't come across very well online.

No, more as in wander aimlessly to a variety of undisclosed locations and hope someone else shows up. |
