At BYU there is a science fiction gathering happening called Life the Universe and Everything (LTUE). Here is a link. Orson Scott Card (writer of Ender's Game) and Some other writers and artists, that I know of and admire are showing up so I went by. I Found the people amazing and I also got some great ideas on how to start putting ideas forward to maybe start writing a book myself. I have always wanted to write a Novel, but i have never known how to start, and I had a lot of fun getting motivated to start putting ideas in a Sketchbook and see where they may lead me.
Names of those I met today, Brandon Sanderson, Howard Taylor, and Orson Scott Card. It was amazing to see these writers and normal people, and to get to shake their hands, and gush a bit with hero worship. Happy Valentines day everyone, and have some Poppy's Pancakes!
Love,
Joe

I think it is wonderful to rub shoulders with people you admire. It sounds like it was very inspirational. I cheer you on with your desire to write a novel. What a great and admirable goal. GOOOO JOE!!!
Wow, how fun! Just sad we couldn't be there with you or atleast to hear all about it in person. We miss you Joe and we'd love to read the book you write!
