The funny thing is that I have been to a number of SCBWI conferences, but I met up and roomed with someone I'd been corresponding with for years for the first one, and then met two of my closest friends in the world there and went to conferences with them after that. This will be the first one where I'm starting out on my own, but of course there will be people I've met online there. I don't know why this feels so outside my wheelhouse, but it does. Again though, stepping outside our wheelhouse is necessary.

I would be as nervous as you (same fears!), but I'm sure you'll do great. Remember, you probably WON'T be the only one who feels nervous there!! Think about others and reach out--it might be a nice way to deflect the tension.
