Since the Covid shutdown, I have not attended any conferences or conventions. Most of the ones I used to attend are gone now. But I have a favorite writer’s conference I used to attend faithfully since the inception of the organization, and I miss my pals there. It’s held in Florida every year and flying east is a horrible hassle.

But this year, I’m going to take the dive and attend a very busy conference after all these years. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone. But when you haven’t done something for a long time, you forget how, right? There are so many details to remember and plan for and I’m already fretting that they’ll find me wandering around the airport, helpless, days later. Or that I’ll end up hiding behind a potted plant, because that’s what I do in crowds.

But the important point is. . . like my heroines, I’m gonna try. How about you? Are there things you’re afraid to try?
