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!
