The Awakening

I am a very frugal person when it comes to spending money on myself. Christmas gifts for my siblings? Not frugal. But myself? Very frugal. Thus, it takes a long time and much internal debate to convince myself that buying anything for my manuscript is, well, acceptable. Which is a good thing (I think) since anything I do end up buying needs to be of excellent quality and dependability. And so far, I have not been disappointed in my purchases. It is with that in mind, that I share that I made a large purchase today. I've enrolled in the WDU Annual Science Fiction & Fantasy Virtual Conference! Two days, six talks, networking with fellow writers, and a written critique of your query letter by an agent in the field. It costs $199.99. And what convinced me? First off, it's only for Sci-Fi and Fantasy, which is my realm of work. Secondly (and main reason) is that the 5/6 topics for the talks are relevant to my current stage of writing. Writing realistic fighting scenes.
