It was great for summer though. <br /><br />Good luck at the conference. You have so much knowledge about good writing that I bet your instincts will just kick in if you get nervous. Deep breathing before hand always helps too. :)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658962630981643176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-87551882106069677862010-04-02T19:25:55.456-07:002010-04-02T19:25:55.456-07:00SO wish I could go to the conference!!
