I’ll be sharing all that I learned from the conference of the American Christian Fiction Writers during the next couple of weeks, but I thought you might like to know about the Gala on Saturday night! Felt like a red carpet event! And the carpet was reddish, so …
As I got ready in a borrowed room, I shared this little clip!
Epilogue
Just after I shot that video and took the pictures, my sweet friend Lee Carver came in. “Oh I have a needle and some black thread, I’ll just stitch that right up for you!”
I was dumbfounded because I thought it irreparable. But it looked perfect! I’m so grateful for a good friend to help save my evening and yes, I felt PRETTY! On key even!
And if you’d like to learn what the top books in Christian Fiction were for last year, here is the link to the Carol Award winners! Excellence on a page!
There are more stories to tell, but the night was amazing, and the fact that I could feel confident in my outfit made big impact on that attitude. Woohoo!
Your turn: When was the last time something threatened to ruin an important occasion for you?

You’re right, Marji. That was an incredible weekend (which for us actually started on Wednesday morning). I was on vacation so I consider the whole week a weekend, so there.
It was so good to finally meet you and see that you are actually a real person not just a flat face on my computer screen. I’m looking forward to attending many more ACFW conferences!!!

Oh and I enjoyed meeting you, too, Wade! I think meeting online friends was the most fun of this week! Well, and talking to editors. And meeting my agent. Oh and the classes. And I loved the worship. Shoot, even the food was delicious! Great time all around!

That’s six number ones, Marji. Apparently you’re not totally caught up on your sleep, yet. IMHO
