I spent an incredible four days at Mt. Hermon Christian Writers conference this past weekend.  It was a fabulous experience and I would recommend it to any writer.  I must have been more tired than I realized when packing for this trip.  Mind you, this is a FOUR-day conference, and I packed three pairs of shoes, nine books, two knitting projects, underwear, pajamas, and only one extra set of clothes!

For my three evening speaking engagements, (shared with Dr. Jerry Jenkins of the Left Behind series fame) I ended up borrowing clothes for each night .  There is nothing more humbling than begging clothes off of complete strangers!  To poke a little fun at myself, I did a little modeling act, saying “clothes by” and named the generous person who loaned me their jacket for that evening.  Trust me, I’m packing a lot more carefully for my European trip .
