A year ago, I took a leap of faith and attended Sleuthfest, my first writing conference. With the first session, I knew I was where I was supposed to be. And now, a year later, I’m attending again. My novel is much, much further along and in a better place than it was last year at this time. Christie and I did more than talk at Sleuthfest, where we met. We followed through, started a blog and a podcast! And now, I have the opportunity to introduce one of the highlighted authors and Christie and I are interviewing some amazing authors for GOB podcast! I’m very excited to see what this year’s Sleuthfest will bring.
Here’s the link to my super bright and happy new suitcase. I won’t have a hard time spotting this on the luggage carousel!
When it comes to packing, I have become a fan of packing cubes. Makes my heart happy.
And in those cubes?
I’m doing something different for this trip. I’m using a capsule wardrobe. No specific outfits planned, just a lot of mix and match. We’ll see how it goes.
Pack something warm! conference rooms are notoriously cold and this pashima will keep me warm this year. I ordered this a few weeks ago. Perfect for this crazy SD winter and for a Florida hotel.
Don’t forget your business cards! I just bought this cute business card holder. This cord organizer is coming with me. I’m hoping it helps prevent a mess in my carry-on. And, of course, bring a notebook! Sine I’ve started attending writer’s conferences, I’ve started a new notebook for each one. there’s something special about starting a new notebook, just like attending a conference. Both are full of possibilities!
And don’t forget a little self care while you’re there. I love packing face masks and always bring my yoga mat.
What are your packing tips? Please share!
