Ticketed

If you’re wanting to get something a little more interactive for your writer friend, then this gift option is for you! We super enjoy going to these things, and we’d enjoy it even more with a friend by our sides. So if you can put up with us for long enough, this just might be the… ticket.

Tickets to a Writer Conference

Doesn’t even matter when it is. It could be next fall for all we care. We just want to know that you thought of us enough to get us tickets to this conference where we can go and learn about our craft from some of the best in the business.

Most of us don’t get to go to things like this, because we don’t feel like spending the money to get ourselves the tickets or we haven't convinced ourselves to make the time for it. Instead we sit and dream about it, think about what it would be like to go to a conference like that and be surrounded by people who do what we do. But for some reason, a lot of us won’t spend the money on something like this.

I honestly don’t know why that is.

The thing with this gift is, if you’re going to get it for us, you really ought to come with us. We would enjoy it a lot more that way, knowing that we have a friend with us. You remember how we’re generally pretty introverted? That means we can have trouble talking to other people at big conferences. But having a friend with us boosts our confidence and, let’s face it, just makes things a lot more fun.

Now, I’m sure you’d like me to tell you what conference you should get tickets to, but I really can’t do that. It depends on where you’re from, what kind of writing your friend does, and how much time they can spare. It’s something you’ll have to put some research into, but I guarantee you that nearly every big city has a writer conference or book fair at least every other year. Albuquerque has two, from what I understand.

You’re nearly guaranteed to have some great options in your state, especially if you’re willing to drive somewhere for the conference. And if you’ve gotten us the tickets, we’ll make a way to get there. We will.

Remember, this is something we’ve all thought about doing, though most of us haven’t gotten around to going.

Myself included, in case you were wondering. But that’s another story altogether.
