I had one from Deborah Raney that was absolutely invaluable. <br /><br />I know I was one of the friendly faces looking forward to meeting you, but unfortunately because of family health won't be coming! You'll be in good company with alley cats & alley cat friends though!Julia M.

It's a little unnerving that you don't find out who you get until you are there!<br /><br />I also am getting my paid critique ready. I didn't do this the first time I went, and regretted it. So am taking advantage this time around.<br /><br />I am going alone this year, so will be looking for lots of friendly faces!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />SueSusan Anne Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258093329143787876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-72150154340599317392013-07-18T05:59:56.135-07:002013-07-18T05:59:56.135-07:00Thanks for the tips and reminders to pray.

If we, who are already so passionate about this field, fail to seek God's council and favor, who will?<br /><br />This is gold, as usual, Ash! Love it!<br /><br />I also want to add if you get nervous, ministering to others at ACFW is a great way to fight them. There are so many going through so much both in their writing and other struggles. Praying with other people was one of my favorite memories from last year.Julia M.
