GCLS Day 1

Yesterday was a bit chaotic, but I managed to check into the conference just in time to hear my fellow Sunday sprint writer read a selection from her book. Then I checked into the hotel and stayed long enough to unpack my clothes and chill on the chaise.

Then I went back to my friends’ house to feed the dogs and leave my car. My friend who drives for Uber brought me back to the hotel, where I then met up with the previously mentioned sprint writer for dinner. She was with a couple of writers from across the pond, one from the Uk and one from Ireland.

We chatted all throughout dinner, and then a couple of other sprint writers from my group showed up as the UK contingent was leaving. From that point on, I chatted with a handful of newly met writers as they came and went until eleven o’clock when I headed back to my room.

There is a twist in the plot, so to speak, as it turns out, my friends that I’ve been dog sitting for have been stranded in Houston and probably will not be home today. So first thing this morning. I called a Lyft and headed back to go feed the girls and love on them for a bit.

They were very happy to see me but happier with breakfast. So not the worse for a night alone. I decided it was easier to take my car as the cost of ubering back and forth is the same price as parking at the hotel and this way I can come and go as I please.

My first session is at nine this morning and the last end at six tonight. I’m super excited by all the upcoming content. And hopefully I’ll get to meet a whole bunch of new writers.

I’ll head back to the pups with my cpap, a change of clothes and dinner, and stay the night before heading back to the hotel for tomorrow’s sessions in the morning.

Stay tuned.
