I just went to a writer's conference last Saturday and it was very informative. There were several one-hour classes I went to, emotions, dialogue, and brainstorming being a few. The classes were taught by published authors, including Lisa Mangum and Julie Wright.
You'd be surprised how much you can learn by just going to a one-day writer's conference. I know now that I could insert a bit more emotion into my books. Then again, I also need to reign in it at a couple of places, seeing as how my characters tend toward mood swings.
I would definitely recommend that you go to a writer's conference in your area. You can learn a lot, especially if you are serious about getting published.
I also entered a writing contest supported by this conference and ended up tying for third place. I'll try and post my entry with my next blog post.
