I'm starting to go to conventions to step out of "the bubble." I belong to a writers' group down here, but it sometimes feels that I'm doing this all by myself. I understand that it's a common feeling among folks who don't have a large community of fans/writers/what have you, and although the Internet is fabulous, nothing beats face-to-face.
Fourth Street, my first convention, really put my feet back on solid ground, and it taught me a lot of things that I didn't already know. Ongoing education is well worth it.
Also, meeting people. I love meeting new people and hearing what they have to say.
