We\\u2019ve been talking about WriterCon for some weeks now and probably will till it happens on September 1, but I typically talk about the \\u201cbig-group\\u201d stuff\\u2014classes, and pitches, contests, and such. WriterCon also provides many opportunities for small-group or even private or one-on-one encounters, like the Manuscript Reviews and the Private Consultations. That\\u2019s September 1-4 (Labor Day weekend) in Oklahoma City. For more info, visit our website, www.writercon.com.

Until next time, keep writing, and remember: You cannot fail, if you refuse to quit.
