Sari, I think you should feel totally okay about sitting this one out. Just my humble opinion! I’ve been to a lot of AWPs - they can be great, but they’re also exhausting. You really need to feel super-confident about your health, and being ultra-organized helps, too. If I’m stressed or I have a lot of other things going on, I find that AWP takes a lot out of me. But then I’m an introvert ;-)

Will you enjoy getting there? Will the train ride be fun? And do you like staying in hotels? I like a good hotel room. You can't control what happens at the conference, but maybe there are other things you'll enjoy. Also, I'm not going and I'm not feeling one little bit of FOMO. Quite happy to be avoiding hordes of anxious-to-socialize writers.
