“Unlock Your Writing Potential: Discover the Secrets Behind the Most Transformative Conference Experience of Your Life!”
No, you don’t have to become friends with every single writer you interact with at a conference. You can’t possibly do that. You’ll resonate with a few and you’ll not resonate with most. The ones you resonate with may turn into friends. But you can be a decent human being to everyone, even if they’re not nice to you.
This should go without saying, which means it probably needs saying. A writing conference is not a place to go looking for romance.
But Shouldn’t You Be Networking?
No, you should not be networking at a writing conference. You should not be networking anywhere. You should scrub the word “networking” from your brain. Never, ever, ever think of another writer as a person who can help you advance your career. That way lies dragons—and the worst of the dragons are envy, greed, and malice.
