Whew, what a crazy bunch of days last week was! I’m still recovering, and feel as if I am a day or two behind. It’s Tuesday and I’m just now ready to sit down and talk about last week. Within a 7 day span I was out-of- state for a 3-day business trip, back home for a family-outing day, went to a 2-day writer’s conference and managed to get a few thousands words written on the current novella I’m working on.
So, in case you’re wondering how the writing conference went … Spring Fling 2010 was great! There were lots of great workshops on the craft and business of writing hosted by talented and best-selling authors. There were also book signings, give-aways and an awards ceremony. Meals were served at tables decorated with hot and sexy book covers. It was like a two-day sleep-over party for romance authors and I regret I’d never gone to a writer’s conference before now. I spent time with friends, made new friends, networked, learned a TON and got lots of new books to read. My live agent pitch went very well – I felt she showed real interest in the book I pitched and requested I send it to her. I conquered several firsts last week, and I’m pretty happy about that.
Here’s a picture of some of the great writers I befriended. I’ll name them if I get their permission! (But heck, I don’t even want to name myself hardly. Boy do I hate taking pictures!)
Alas, my lunch break has come to a rapid end and I must get back to the job. Must. Concentrate. On Work. Must. Not Think. About Writing.
Ta-ta for now!

glad you're back and had great time…
carry on the good work…
*smiles* Thanks london!
It was awesome meeting you too!
Hope we can do it again sometime!
Agreed!
You're an inspiration, I must say. Best wishes! And I just saw your great comment for my Sand Castles blog – it is surprising that I failed to mention mens' eyes as being a favorite. I guess they sort of go with the nose in my warped little mind. Happy Friday!
*Does the big booty butt shuffle* YEAH! You're back! And successful in your pitch! *does the office chair jig* I call getting an agent to look at your work after a LIVE pitch success. This means you are even closer to publishing something great for me to read. Yeah, I just made it all about me that quick. But the short stories on your site are just teasing me. I need a novel! LOL I am so glad that you went and learned so much and did so well. Now *shifty looks* sneak in a couple pages of writing at work…I won't tell a soul!
