Comment from Caraman
When I attended my first Communication Central cnfreoence last year, I felt like I had been inducted into a secret society. I learned so much, and it was a pleasure to meet so many of the greats of editing whose books, blog posts, and discussion list messages I had followed so closely over my career. I am thrilled that CC will be returning to Baltimore this year (2012) and I'm looking forward to what's in store!

Thanks Andy. Glad to brighten your day a bit. :-)дёЂжЎҐ, thakns for your kind words. I've never enrolled in a creative writing program, though I did go to writers conferences for a few summers (not this year). However I regard those conferences more as an opportunity to meet other writers and hear their stories than learning about writing. You do learn a bit in those conferences, but the main path of learning is a lone journey. I might have a storyteller's nature, but writing in a second language has always been tough. Each published piece is edited again and again and again. On my desk is a big pile of dictionaries, C-E, E-C, E-E, C-C, you name it. And reading, tireless reading of others' good writing. I don't see another way around this. To me writing is always a hard and slow process. I still don't feel confident about my English today as I'm typing this. :-) So if you find errors, don't be surprised.
