There's a time to soak it all in, a time to write, and a time to put it out there and try to get it sold. I think too many people rush the process to get to that third step and never fully enjoy the first two parts.

Usually I try to take advantage of appointments, and last year I did submit something to the critique service (I still haven't gotten around to revising the piece, though). But I'm with you - if I don't have anything specific to ask, and the editors/ agents aren't interested in the type of work I'm doing, I'd let others take advantage of those talking opportunities. Let me know how the plenaries are, and if it might be worth my purchasing the CDs. Have fun, and enjoy all that awesome food!

That's so neat that you have business cards. I've got to get me some of those. It's nice of you to let the other conference goers time with the agents if you know they won't be interested in your genre. I think it's the best thing to do in a situation like that. I can't wait to hear what you learned! Good luck at the conference! That’s so neat that you have business cards. I’ve got to get me some of those.
