AWP 2019 is almost here and I could not be more pumped! Not only will I get to go to one of my favorite literary events of the year (with some of my favorite people), but I will also get to go to Portland for the first time (win-win!). Every year it seems someone writes a tip sheet about how to make the most out of you AWP experience. And while I certainly have my suggestions, the number one thing I would like to emphasize is do you because there is no one way to go about AWP. We are all attending with our own agendas in mind. Whether it be to go to as many panels as our schedules will allow, network at the book fair, sneak into the after-parties, or just trying to get your hands on as much swag as possible, do it.
All too often I hear my fellow writers say they are not writing as much as they “should be,” implying there is a standard for how much we should be writing every day. Frankly this a ton of crap. The other day I posted on Instagram “200 words a day. Even if their sh*tty and you wind up deleting them is still better than no words at all.” Right now, writing 200 words is feasible and sustainable given my current commute schedule.
