I’m really looking forward to going to Left Coast Crime next week. And I’ll be happy to see so many of my fellow writers and catch up with them. I have met some wonderful people at conferences, participating in author speed-dating, chatting at the dinner table or hanging out in the bar at the end of the day.

But, for someone who spends a lot of the time alone with my computer, I do sometimes find it all a bit overwhelming and really want to just hide in my hotel room.

So I was delighted to get Jane Friedman’s newsletter today with very pertinent information on schmoozing for introverts. I found it a helpful reminder of how I really should be spending my time at conferences, so I thought I’d share it with my fellow introverts.

Maybe we’ll find ourselves chatting together soon.
