RWA National Conference
August 3, 2010
Returned from the RWA National Conference in Orlando last Sunday. The Swan Resort was fabulous, and my roomie, Alicia McCalla (YA author) and I had a blast. Spent quality time with one critique partner, Elaine Burroughs (author of Womens Fiction) while Terry, the third partner held down the home front. I attended numerous and varied workshops and loved most of them.
Favorite moments included Nora Roberts Keynote Speech at lunch on Thursday. What an amazing woman and author! And the Golden Heart and RITA awards ceremony on Saturday night.The Disney songs and references just made it better and the acceptance speeches were a hoot!
Now after numerous agent and editor panels, its time to start target querying again. And to get back to work on Compromising the Captain, book two of the Colonels Daughters series.

Rejected, but helpful...
January 23, 2009
Received a long and helpful rejection letter from the more than kind Harlequin editor. And actually the good side to a first rejection? Makes me eligible for RWA's PRO designation. I will send in the letter and my manuscript and receive a pin and entrance into the network that is PRO.
