Yikes!

Someone needs to conduct a session on "How to Write an Effective Conference Blurb!" I just agonized over mine and then settled on something that I'm still not sure will draw people in. Perhaps they will allow for modifications later...Hmmmm...It really is tricky to write something short and sweet that interests people. I read over some of the old ones from CLA, and tried to glean ideas, but they were all so different. Practice makes perfect, right? I guess I'll just have to keep attending conferences until it becomes a science. For that matter, a session on "How to Write a Conference Proposal" would probably also be rather useful to those interested in presenting at something like CLA or OLA. Something to think about for the professional communication class, if it is ever taught again.

What's the deal with Rodrigo? I think you should come back and teach the course, J! You're got the chops...

Who knows...In the spirit of blogging, I won't delete that comment, but it's still odd.

I'd love to teach the course! We'll see if they'll let me. Step one, finish school. Step two, contemplate creating a detailed lesson plan. ;)
