Being on the Blog to Book panel was more amazing than I could imagine. I was so nervous, but it seemed to go well. I’m writing this from the closing keynote where I’m half listening, half reading Tweets about what people thought of the session. The response was amazing, overwhelming, and most humbling.
For those who could not attend, you were missed. 
But you can view the transcript thanks to a very thoughtful live blogger.
For those visiting my site after the session, welcome. This is a rather eclectic blog that isn’t necessarily all things to all people, but if you look at the tag cloud and the blog roll, you’ll probably find something that you’re looking for. If you have a question I didn’t answer, ASK IT IN THE COMMENTS SESSION! 75 minutes have never went by so quickly, and I know we didn’t cover half of what we wanted to. We did get some really good questions so I hope people found it useful.

Just wanted to add my compliments. Yours was one of the better panels I attended. I loved that everyone was willing and able to give really specific advice.

I L-O-V-E-D your panel and was so honored to have you come to mine and be interested in what I have to say about girls. I’m so glad I met you and I’ll be posting your pic tomorrow on blogfabulous.com (fyi).

Kwana, I used your agent’s story about having stuff shoved under her door being a “bad thing.” You would have been proud.
