Yes Eleni-fest is over......
With 53 blog posts, 20 special guests, 6 blog visits, 124 commenters, 1036 comments, 15 updates, 37 prize winners, and topics ranging from grants to getting back to writing, it sure has been one hell of a month.
I'm exhausted but exhilarated by it all.
I've met some new people via cyberspace, which is fantastic. I truly hope that this fest was fun for everyone.
So a big thank you to everyone involved - special guests, hostesses, commenters, readers, those who tweeted, email participants.... you all rock!
Without you all Eleni-fest wouldn't have been much of a fest at all.
So what did I learn or get reaffirmed with this experience:
- RWAus members rock!
- Support from everyone was phenomenal!
- Those who organise these type of events are mad or giddy or both. Seriously, I felt some days I was just laying down the tracks as the train just came over the horizon. So my hat off to anyone who does this for a long duration.
- I love being a writer.
- I love the blogging world & the fact that people from around the world joined in on the fun was fantastic (thanks).
- Remember to plan, plan, plan....ahead of time, preferably *wink*
- Know thyself...seriously, learn what you are capable of - set realistic goals and targets.
- A joy learning about our authors more.
- Don't do this again....or really this comes down to plan, plan, plan and Know Thyself.
So it seems that Eleni-fest all worked out. Thanks for visiting and I hope you continue to read my posts, though I don't think I can top having those lovely guests on.
Oh I have a little poll that you can do on the side panel of my blog...and I'll probably put it up on my website too....or you can link to it below:
Again, it was a pleasure hosting Eleni-fest and thanks to Arts SA for the opportunity to go to the conference & also to promote the project.
~yia~
PS - well amazing what planning can do, I had this blog all organised and just had to put in the figures...see what I mean about planning, planing, planning ;))

Hey Eleni,
Thanks for hosting such a great event. I enjoyed all of it, can't wait to get my prizes. What is Candle melt??? I just seen my name under your supporters list for this. I know this had to be quite time consuming for you, but your hard work is appreciated.
I think what you're doing with yourself is wonderful and wish you all the luck with everything you do.

Yes RK relaxing sounds good....will get some in, well in between study and writing an article for Hearts Talk.
Mitz - a candle melt is basically those flat candles.
Mel - glad it was fun AND informative. My job is done ;)
