I love hearing back from writing friends who attended the RWA National Conference. I have only attended one conference myself, but I loved it, and I can put myself there when they talk about the meetings and the meals shared with other writers.

I’d love to go next year, and am already making tentative plans with that in mind. It’ll be in Nashville in 2010, and I’ve never been there, so that should be fun. Last time I went I met up with friends before the conference and we had such a good time, I’d love to do that again, too.

What one thing do you try to make year after year, despite the cost and hassle, because it is really worth it to you?
