Like you, I was too busy going to signings and looking at booths to make time to go! ;) I'm going to try to get to at least two this year, though I'm not sure where or when.

I, especially, plan to talk to a lot more people because I am extremely shy and didn't talk to nearly as much people as I had hoped last year. Thanks for all your tips! I can't wait until BEA!!<br /><br />http://thebucketlist-gn.blogspot.comJeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03045576249270175226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-57234248813495465502013-04-05T09:56:50.433-04:002013-04-05T09:56:50.433-04:00All really good things to keep in mind Liza!

I'm looking forward to seeing you!!Lexiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01997726505496899916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706721891813320913.post-34724156605865512492013-04-05T09:44:15.401-04:002013-04-05T09:44:15.401-04:00I LOVE this post, Liza! I did the same thing with ...I LOVE this post, Liza! I did the same thing with my bag - I put so much unnecessary junk in it, and I never took the time to take out my camera. I had my phone in my pocket mostly and I used that because it was easier than digging through my bag to find the camera. I WILL NOT do that this year.<br /><br />I also failed to distribute a lot of cards (maybe 2 dozen? And that was mostly the last day when I came out of my book shock) or talk to people. I keep saying that I just feel more zen about this year. Totally still pee-my-pants excited, but calmer in a way. I know what to expect now.<br /><br />Thankfully I was able to go to BEA every day last year, but I also spent 5 days in NYC so I got to do some fun stuff. Getting there bright and early Wednesday this year so I have all day in the city before the BEA madness starts. And I cannot wait to see your face at the blogger dinner!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14609984238909948421noreply@blogger.com
