WAJ Wrap Up

Back. Co-wrote with two people that I had never sat with before. Great sessions both of them. Both sessions started with nothing more than an idea, had to grit out everything. Loved that. Had some great one-on-one sessions and met with a publisher. I call it three for three in terms of accomplishing goals for the weekend.

It’s never easy hearing the word no. You would think that a lifelong career in sales and being married for 15 years would equip a fella to deal with that dreaded word. Still. It’s tough. So, a little disappointed, but it’s all part of the process. The business reasons behind it were irrefutably sound. So, stick and move, stick and move. Just keep punching until the bell rings…Just keep writing.

If you go to WAJ, at some point during the day take a moment and just stop and listen. You can so tell you’re with a bunch of music nerds. 6 out of 10 people are walking around humming something. Two people are singing right out loud, one has an iPod going so loud that they couldn’t sing over it if they tried, and the tenth, well, they re too busy trying to find the choir room to sing or hum.

Great weekend.
