I left home on Friday at 10am headed to Jacksonville and my flight to Tulsa for the writers conference. I had a layover in Dallas, then 1 hour flight north to Tulsa, OK. When the plane landed, I turned on my phone and got a message that my flight from DFW to Tulsa was CANCELED. Can you believe that? I was stranded in Dallas. I did a Google Maps search and found out Tulsa is 4 hours from the Dallas airport, so I went on Expedia and rented a car. Before I left the plane, I had my car and went directly to pick it up. I had only carry-on luggage. Thank God! Hitting the interstate at 3pm in Dallas is no joke. I arrived in Tulsa at 9:30pm, passing 2 car accident slowdowns along the way. But I was THERE. Saturday was magical. Workshops were standing room only and so many great comments on the feedback sheets. I was fully booked for my author pitch sessions. I connected with the owner of an app that helps fiction authors visualize their story. He wants to partner with me to send us authors when they are ready to publish. He has 60,000 subscribers. Those connections are my primary reason for going to these events. As a bonus, I sold ONE BOOK. LOL NEVER WILL I FLY AMERICAN AGAIN, BTW.
