Deb, part of the idea is to make you want to be there next year!

I think the material will keep on cooking and thickening so thanks for saying you’ll be glad to hear more. I’m glad you found my blog too

Terrific advice. You are making me regret not being there.

I’m looking forward to hearing more as these ideas gell and cook in your head and heart.

I’m glad I’ve found your blog!

Jan, what a great expression for the event – “the wonderfulness is palpable” – it really was. Hope to see you there next year

All best,

It is good advice isn’t it Robyn, especially in the early days when we think we ‘should’ write in a certain way. One of the things I love about blogging is when you see people start to stretch, play, create and develop, learning how to add their own pizzazz…

I’m glad you’re enjoying them Amy. It was certainly a resource rich conference.

I know what you mean about passion – recall you saying this in ref to your switch to writing at lives less ordinary – though you know passion is a word that just doesn’t connect with me in relation to my work here. I’d use words like focused, determined, proud, motivated, purposeful but it’s never felt like passion.

Maybe it’s semantics, I’m not sure, or a cultural thing. (Calvinists even reformed ones struggle a bit with passion!)

I’ll enjoy chatting to you about this some time.

Joanna, I enjoyed Liz’s reminder not to write for your teacher.

That is absolutely too boring.

What we need is more personality… And that’s just the kind of spice and pizzazz you add.

Thanks for a great post.

Thanks Karen. I’m going to do some more on questions and how to make them work as part of my next topic. It’s hard to balance with the desire / need to be an authority though – a challenge for most of us.

I agree with you on the takeaway message re letting people know about your business (esp from David, boy was he inspiring). I’m going to start doing some more of that next week.

I don’t actually consider myself a terribly productive blogger, although others have commented on my prolific output. I think if I could give a tip of my own, it would be to blog about your passion. If you’re passionate about your blog, then you will become productive almost by default.
I am so enjoying these SOBCon posts, Joanna. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing your learning with us here.
Amy
