Writers: how long since you went to a writers/readers/literary festival? I've just returned from one and have popped up the first of a series of blog posts about the experience. This one is about all the benefits writers receive from attending. The next post will be about how to get the most from attending. And then one on what you can do to get an invite to one! Plus I'll do a highlights post as the festival was fantastic and the impact on me/for me next level. https://annafeatherstone.com/what-are-the-benefits-for-writers-who-attend-writers-festivals/

A question about a #WritersFestival (imminently perhaps #SydneyWritersFestival but any really)...
I've long wanted to go to one, but am unsure how/what/why... what does a person who is ostensibly just a reader (admittedly with chronic, unsubstantiated, (im)posturing, delusional daydreams of being a "writer") do? Is it something a "reader" can enjoy? How do you plan it? How do you enjoy it? What's the go, Joe?
[fwiw, this is part of my "solo adventure" and "living my youth" emotionally/psychologically/pathologically remedial themes, for those that may know where I'm at at the moment. For others, it's about a highly-repressed 50+ yo version of "self-care", if you're looking for a trigger to enjoy social media with with one of its two innate polarities: compassion or contempt].
