It's April 2007. I take on the National Writers Workshop in Hartford, Conn. My mission -- pull together as many practical reporting and writing ideas as I can in two days.

It's only 4:30...

... and we're done!

Thanks to Chip for bringing us home.

So, 48 is good. But more is better. Keep checking back!

For now, I'm off to the airport. And to get some food. I think I lost a few pounds this weekend.

Later tonight, or perhaps tomorrow, I'll post audio from the interview I did with the Times' Bill McDonald. I'll also post audio from an interview I did with Denis Horgan Jr., a senior producer for "Countdown with Keith Olbermann." He runs The News Hole, the show's recently launched blog.

I also have some tips to post from John Sweeney's very engaging presentation on how newsrooms are changing.

All that and more in the next 24 hours.

Thanks to all of you who contributed. Whether you e-mailed, commented or called, you all rock. And special thanks to the few of you who visited me here in Hartford.

I hope some of what you find here helps you out with your writing. All the credit goes to the wonderful speakers who took a weekend out of their busy schedules to come teach. And, of course, to all the people who pitched in to run the event, especially Korky Vann and Denis Horgan.

Ciao!

Expensive conventions? At $100, this convention seemed like a pretty good deal... More.
