Normally I try to take a lot of pictures at conventions, but I talked so nonstop to so many people that I fell down on the job. I only managed to snag two photos of oneof my workshop rooms…the left hand side
and the right hand side.
This was my third conference in six weeks…and now I get to stay home and write.
Update on THAT coming soon.

Looks like your room was much better than the room you had in Atlanta. Hope it was a great convention with not all the controversy that the SC convention had.
Dear Ms. Bauer,
I loved THE HISTORY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD and I’m looking forward to the medieval book. It’s my considered opinion the you should write a western civ. text. Students would actually enjoy the course.
I’ll read anything you write.
All the best,

Susan, Is it just me or do your pictures show up VERY long & blurry for everybody else?
I want to send you a love letter and a bouquet of roses. Thank you for sharing your writing philosophy (that makes so much sense) and for writing books that so fit our family. We love it! I was just at Cincy and appreciate you coming and speaking.
Loved hearing and seeing you last week in Cincinnati. After eight years of homeschooling, mostly overseas, it was an incredible treat.
I told my older kids that Susan Wise Bauer said I needed to lighten up on them a bit on writing assignments. They thought it was a late April Fool’s Joke. (I think I finally convinced them.)
FWIW, I had initially ignored Peter Enns in the speaker schedule because I was focused on academic and not Christian workshops. I really enjoyed the workshop of his that I attended and found talking to him at the booth a delight and a challenge. We listened to another of his workshops on the drive home. It was a message about the Long Dark Night of the Soul that I really needed to hear. So in a way, I’m glad that the kerfluffle brought him to my attention.
ps. I hope you got some heavy duty chocolate therapy in after the last session.
My kids will be dancing in the streets when I start to implement your writing suggestions. I can’t believe I succumbed to the “writing must be complicated” camp. I’m not sure if I’ll make it to Cincy again next year, but it was certainly worth it this year.
Wow, I’m in the second picture! Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed (loved!) your sessions. Thank you. I actually drove from Saskatchewan, Canada to attend the Midwest Convention. Totally worth it!
