I can’t tell you how wonderful this has all been! I can’t imagine how you all did this along with all of your other obligations too. Amazing! As someone who can’t afford (in either time or money) to go to the big conferences, this has been a blessing. I’m looking forward to making my way through all of the stuff I missed in the next couple weeks. You have made this fun, informative, hysterical, and so valuable. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

You guys! This con is great, the panels and forums are great, and the founders and organizers are AWESOME!! Thank you so much for putting this together!
Too funny! Love the video!
I’ve said my thank yous throughout this conference, but I need to say it one more time…
THANK YOU!
This conference has been so amazing! Okay, wait. Once more…
THANK YOU!
You girls are amazing, brilliant, and generous! I still can’t get over that you did this–for thousands of people you’ve never met–for free!!! I learned more at WriteOnCon than at any other conference I’ve attended (some of them quite pricey!). And this was soooo much fun. Thanks, ladies. You’re the best!
You girls Rock! Now get some sleep. Next year will be here before you know it. Hee Hee
YOU ALL ROCK!!!!
Thank you for an AMAZING CONFERENCE–OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Can’t wait until next year

I just wanted to say thank you. This was a great experience and my first conference. Now, drink some bubbly to celebrate the success and then go get some sleep.
Thanks, everyone! During the past three days WriteOnCon offered such high quality content–and for FREE!! I’m amazed and so grateful.
I’ve had an amazing time the past three days!!! Thank you all for everything. You have no idea how much this meant to me. I’m so excited about all the knowledge I gained from this. THANK YOU!!!!
Oh, yeah. I’m addicted to the video intro!
You guys! Where did you find even one extra ounce of energy to do that??? It made me laugh, even with my own bleary eyes and stiff neck. I honestly don’t know when I’ve had such a great few days in a long time. All hail the WriteOnCon gals and dancing sidekick (don’t mean that as a slight Karsten, you rock!)
Awww, man, I’m homesick for WriteOnCon already!!!
Now I gotta get back to revisions! (Been playing hookey all week!)
You’re all so cute and the sessions were TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please come friend me, follow me – anyone! Everyone! Please!!!

Read my brand new novel from Scholastic, too! THE HEALING SPELL! I’m getting so many great reviews it’s making me cry. Talk about that shameless promotion stuff . . . um, did it work? hee, hee.
And LISA’S GOING TO HAVE A BABY??? YA-HOO!!!!! . . . drums . . . YA-HOO!!!! (I’ve been singing your video music ALL WEEK, too.)
Bye! Kisses! Hugs! Waves!

The ladies of WriteOnCon ROCK!!! I can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you put in to making my first conference an unbelievable experience!! As someone (on a small fixed income and disabled) who cannot afford to go to conferences, this was a godsend.
I’m already looking forward to next year. Hopefully, by then, I will have figured out how to post in the live chats : )
Best end-of-a-con video EVER!!!! And my apologies for the panicked 403-Forbidden One e-mail. Heee. Sending virtual hugs and chocolate to everyone who made this possible. Can’t wait to do it again!! xoxox
Thank you all! It’s been great, although I still haven’t really done all the topics. I’ve been reading comments in the forums and learning, reading presentations and learning, and of course the first day had its own access challenges.
But I’m so happy I attended!
Thanks for the conference. You guys did great! Can’t wait for the next one!
Well, you already know that I think you lovely ladies ROCK! (Okay, you too Karsten…) I can’t imagine the stress of putting on live events to thousands of people–I typically crash the chat when I host The Practice Room and that’s only with a handful of people involved. That being said, if you need a hand, please take me up on my offer to help organize in some way for next year. It’s an amazing resource and community that you have built here. We love you for it. This conference was perfect.
I’m tearing up a little, and I’m not quite sure how to fill my days… There is a big gaping writeoncon hole now…
Thanks to all the industry professionals as well, who generously gave of their time and expertise.
I always knew the kidlit community was the most amazing–and this conference was the concrete proof.
THANKS.
Thank you guys so very, very much. I really apprecited being able to attend this wonderful event from all the way from Outback Australia. I have never been so impressed by such a passionate and generous bunch of people. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Such a great conference!! I’ll have to back to read and watch the parts I missed (darn need for sleep!) because the posts and vlogs I did watch and read were fantastic!!
2011…Elevensies…WriteOnCon2K11….Can’t wait!
Can’t hurt to say it again – thank you so much for this! As I put on Shannon’s blog, the conference has furthered my resolve to get published because I want so badly to be more a part of this world. (Yes, I AM the Little Mermaid).
WOW!!!! You are all super awesome….to say the least
I can’t wait for next year! I hope you all get some rest.
I’ve just started a blog, last night, to apply the things that I’ve learned here, which is a TON
Thanks to all the authors, illustrators, agents, editors, and founders.
My blog is basic, but I hope to improve it over time. I only have one follower…talk about shame.

Thanks for all your talented hard work!
OMG, you guys, it was awesome! And so was this video. It’s all been perfect!
A million thanks yous!
Best conference EVER!!!!!!
THANKS FOR BEING HERE WHEN I CAME HUNTING YOU DOWN, (having withdrawals).
VERY FUN-NY way to end this WONDERFUL 3-DAY CONFERENCE. (laughing hard @ video)
You are AMAZING, GIVING, GIFTED, AND THE LIST GOES ON……………
Big Hugs to All. (Sorry if I’m getting into your personal space. Blowing a kiss, then.)
Won’t increase your already full email accounts but you are AWESOME, AMAZING and INCREDIBLE! You deserve a week off any duty in a vacational ressort!
Thanks for bringing the fun and the learning to everyone wherever we were. I had a lot of trouble catching up but gladly it will still be here for a while, so I will read anything without streess.
So glad about the Con, and you are brave enough thinking about 2011!
Thank you so much for all your hard work! The presenters gave out tons of helpful information, and I love that you’re archiving the talks, chats and posts, so that I can go back to them. Congratulations to Lisa on the pregnancy, and I hope you all get some sleep!
Wow, you guys are so amazing. I slept for 8 hours last night!!! Go me!! *sigh* I actually can’t wait for next year. Does that make me insane? Wait, don’t answer that.
Thank you! This was so awesome. I can’t even imagine how much work went into putting it together. You girls rock.
And it’s about time you shared your news, Lisa! Congratulations again.
Woo Hoo! WriteOnCon 2011! Thank you so much for the awesome, ladies.
You are all unbelievable! Thank you so much for doing this. My writing career has flourished online and I seldom get to writing seminars or conferences in my neck of the swamp. This has truly prepared me for my first conference in the Fall though! I cannot wait till writeoncon2011
And I am so glad the forums will stay open for us too 
I’m a little worried about the Raid next to the empty m&m bowl. Maybe that’s why Lisa doesn’t feel so great?
Thanks for all the hard work!
Awwww!! Baby!!! Congrats!
Also, love the empty Patron bottle, lol!
