WriterCon Woes
I'm worried. And I'm pretty certain they are unfounded worries, but still...
For the past few nights, I keep having nightmares (to me) about WriterCon.
I dream that I oversleep and miss my bus to the Con. Or I've forgotten to register for the panels I want to go to, so I'm not allowed. Or I bring the completely wrong wardrobe. Or I don't know anyone and am totally alone the whole time. Or I get lost going there and never make it in time. Or or or!!!
Every time I close my eyes, it's WC anxiety!
So I thought if the people in the know could answer some questions, relieve these anxieties, I'd feel better, you know?
I still haven't received my tickets/T-shirt in the mail. I will, won't I?
What the heck is everyone wearing? I was so hoping it would be very casual and comfortable, like shorts every day to attend the panels, but I've heard differently, too. I can understand dressing up for the cocktail party and for going out of an evening, but during the day? Please tell me there are others that want to dress like me then!
Do you just decide at the time what panels you want to attend? Or do you have to sign up since only a certain number are allowed?
What do I need/have to do beforehand? As long as I've paid my way in, is everything else just done after I arrive at the Con?
Please don't roll your eyes at the stupid questions of the Con newbie. I've never attended one, so I'm a bit in the dark.
Can you dear, lovely, smart, beautiful (is this working? :)) people help me in my quest to relax and actually enjoy the few days before the Con?
If so, much appreciated. If not, well, I cry at the drop of a hat anyway, so.....
