Nashville rocks! I highly recommend this mystery con for mystery writers or for
any writer who needs an excuse for a fun trip. The conference was scheduled
over the weekend, August 22 through 24. T.D. Hart, my traveling buddy, aka
Jennifer Adolph, and I left on the Wednesday, August 20. We went early to
attend the Sister’s in Crime workshop on Thursday afternoon, which was titled:
DOING TIME WITH SinC: GREAT BEGINNINGS. We brought the beginning of our current
WIP, up to 200 words.

Phillippi Ryan with T.D. Hart (Jennifer Adolph)
The
presenters were Laura DiSilverio, (president of SinC), Catriona McPherson,
Cathy Pickens and Hank Phillipi Ryan.
The
president read our copy, which felt a bit like taking your clothes off in
public and letting everyone critique your body. In other words, it took
courage. But wow! Did we ever get some great tips. As soon as I came home I
immediately rewrote my beginning. What I learned was well worth the cost of an
extra night at the Omni Hotel (First 5-star hotel I’ve ever stayed in.)
I
was on the KILLER COZY panel at 10:00 on Friday morning. Panelists: Jennie
Bentley/Jenna Bennet, Kay Elam (panel leader), Caroline Fardig and Nancy Parra. I'm in the middle.
