Years ago when my Mum got her teaching degree we ~ all her kids ~ went, it was important for us to witness her getting what we'd seen her work so hard for. Of course there were no travelling expenses involved. And money can sometimes get in the way of our plans and dreams. But, again, I do hope you all can go.roxanne s. sukhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424834424208118694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-89372916816900108432013-04-04T08:50:14.081-04:002013-04-04T08:50:14.081-04:00Wow.

It's so much easier for me to make that decision for YOU. :)<br /><br />Congrats to the hubs on TWO project nominations! He is a rock star!

The guy wants to save the planet. The detective wants to find the murderer. What my character wants seems to change from chapter to chapter!<br /><br />I hope I get to go, too. Of course, a picture with the Pacific Foo Dog is not exactly the same as the Nittany Lion, but I'll take what I can get. :)Heidi Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420802651029097379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-63117899689445795482013-04-03T22:36:11.160-04:002013-04-03T22:36:11.160-04:00Yeah...

It would actually be cheaper to drive two days across the midwestern states to get to Saskatchewan from Ontario... the numbers have been crunched and so far we might be able to get it under 2 grand for the whole trip but I need that money for other things! But this is a work trip. It's valuable. He's got two projects nominated. Gahhhhhh. I might not care this year. <br /><br />Plans change...<br /><br />Conflict - I've had to do a lot of confronting in my life. I wish I could say it gets easier. When I'm writing a conflict scene, things go way outta control which is way better than real life going that way! <br /><br />How cool is it that a young writer reached out to you for advice!!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7313130055534395503.post-76906634583385982912013-04-02T14:59:31.203-04:002013-04-02T14:59:31.203-04:00This is some really good writing advice.

I hope I know at some point.<br /><br />I really hope you can go to your graduation. You have earned it.<br /><br />Paulstrugglingwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895062852286494753noreply@blogger.com
