writing conference

I have decided to go to the URI Summer Writing Conference. Last year I went as a volunteer, which was cool but I didn't get to go to the workshops or anything. This year I decided to just spend the entry fee and do all that stuff. There are workshops on fiction, poetry, and nonfiction - I'm doing advanced fiction - panel discussions, readings, and other writerly stuff, run by the English professors and a lot of visiting writers. You should go too! The conference costs $55, and the pre-conference session (which includes more workshops) costs $100. I decided to do both, but the pre-conference session is optional. yay.
