Last
weekend, I'd signed up to attend the California Crime Writers Conference in Culver City , California
Besides, I
don't want my temporary disability to rule my life... or at least not any more
than it has to.
And so, I
attended the CCWC on Sunday, though not on Saturday.
My problem
was obvious to everyone there since I was using a walker. They were all so supportive! It was fun to see my long-time friends and
acquaintances from the local Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime
chapters. The organizations jointly put
on the CCWC every other year.
My panel
went fine. The topic was "Rebranding:
Changing Genre, Styles, and More" which is a highly appropriate subject
for me to talk about since I write in a couple of genres--mystery and romance--including
a couple of subgenres of romance. The
panel went well--or at least I enjoyed it and the other panelists, and our
audience members, seemed to have fun as well.
I also
attended a couple of other panels and the luncheon. All were enjoyable but I had to figure out in
each instance how and where I could sit while keeping my leg straight. It all worked fine.
So I'm glad
I went. But I'll also look forward to
the next one in a couple of years where I'll be able to participate even more!

It's great that you managed to get around, but think about how good it will feel when you don't need the walker.
Oh, I like thinking about that!
