You'd think . . .

if several members of the Write on the Water crew were all at the same conference on the same weekend, they would find some way to get together, right?

Well, here's the deal. First, let me explain that I am lousy at multi-tasking.  I can barely chew gum and tie my sneakers at the same time. So, Sleuthfest is this once a year conference and an opportunity for all of us to try to advance our careers with the agents and editors in attendance.  I was so focused this year on trying to get myself a new agent it never occurred to me that my fellow bloggers were there and that we should have attempted to meet in the real — as opposed to the virtual — world.

Check out the attendees:

Wooden Boat John

eBook Guru Mike

Chef Victoria

Guest blogger Marcia (with fellow writer Deborah)

Guest blogger Sharon

Agent seeker/solo sailor Chris

I have shared with you all that I have been working on my stand-alone thriller for more than four years and I have spent the last 4 days since Sleuthfest working 18 hours a day at revising and polishing this manuscript (I'm on Spring Break from the day job).  I have decided to send it out to three agents today.  That was my Sleuthfest focus.

To my WOW blog mates, I'm sorry I didn't organize a git-together.  Who knows when so many of us will be in the same place at the same time.  But I will keep you posted on my efforts to secure an agent and a print publishing deal.

Wish me luck!

Fair winds,

Christine
