Realm Makers 2019 Recap

So I went to Realm Makers.

I'm not even going to attempt to describe the trip.  In a nutshell: a lot of sitting, but it was worth it.

After all, 12+ hours one way in a 15 passenger van can be very fun when you've got the right folks doing the trip with you.  And I had the right folks.

And sitting for multiple sessions can be very tiring unless you have the right folks to chat with.  And all the realmies are such amazing people.

Stopping at Fort Massac. 

Have mandolin - will travel.

Opening night keynote.  :)

Dinner with Evangeline and Sarah.

Hanging out with some writing peeps for breakfast.

Independent Publishing course.

Some of the most AMAZING blogging gals ever!!
Evan, Sarah, Nicole, and Faith!

The epic (and super tall) Claire.

Lord of the Rings crew.

Millie - she made her skirt and it's so pretty!!!

Agent Carter, anyone??  (Or Savannah.)

Honestly, Mary Liz's hair is AMAZING.

Pardon me geeking out over my favorite author....Tricia!!!

I found Captain America!!

And Bucky!!!

Driving home in the pouring rain.

Well, it was a lovely time.  Can't wait until next year!!

I loved getting to meet new people.  Meet bloggers that I've known.  Talk to author's.  Get books signed.  And learn more and more about writing, editing, and publishing.  I got to pitch for the first time (not as scary as it seems, y'all!) and walk around playing my mandolin.

Seriously.  Great times.

Also, for anyone who is interested, I played a song by the Ohio river.  The video can be found here.  Enjoy!!!
