On October 15th I attended the 7th Annual Minnesota Blogger Conference. \u00a0It was a great day and I have half a notebook full of things to digest and work on in the days and weeks to come. No, I’m not going to be rebranding again or rearranging the layout again, but there are quite a few behind the scenes things I’ll be working on as well as ideas and strategies to improve my writing going forward.<\/p>\n
I’d been looking forward to this even for some time, but as I entered the venue I was nervous. \u00a0I knew I would be surrounded by professional bloggers and I wasn’t sure how myself as a hobby blogger would fit in. \u00a0Turns out I fit in great! \u00a0I met a lot of amazing women (and a few amazing men) from all age groups and backgrounds. \u00a0What really surprised me was how many of them actually envied ME. \u00a0Several people who started out as hobby bloggers talked fondly about the good old days when they wrote for fun and not for a boss or for their rent.<\/p>\n
