To Anyone not going to the RWA Conference in Washington D.C.
Are the RWA threads getting you down? Is bitterness creeping in the closer July gets?
Well, come on down. You’re the next Diva on I GET TO HAVE A CONFERENCE IN MY JAMMIES!!!!!
That’s right. Starting tomorrow, July 14th, instead of sweating on an airplane or negotiating your pricey room, you’ll be logging in with your PJ’s on and a cup of coffee in hand. We know how to do you right.
Look who we got to come and give us the benefit of their wisdom.
JOSH LANYON
July 14th, Josh has graciously agreed to kick off the conference with a workshop on m/m romance in our Steamy Section. Then,
ROWAN MCBRIDE (who has a free serial up on his site if you want a taste) and JET MYKLES and SHAYLA KERSTEN will keep the conversation going for the next three days.
For a Y.A. workshop, CARRIE JONES and MARLEY GIBSON will be doing a panel on “Creating Believable Teen Characters”.
LINNEA SINCLAIR
This Rita Award winning author is going to do a workshop on something dear to my (and all my editor’s) heart. DEEP POV! Her books are fantastic and if you haven’t checked her out, take a look.
PATTI O’SHEA
Another award winning author who is going to discuss character motivation. We had discussions about torture and dungeons so don’t miss it.
ONA RUSSELL
This historical fiction writer is doing a workshop along with
STEVE HOCKINGSMITH
and possibly one other author called “The Perils and Pleasures of Historical Research (for the purpose of writing a historical novel). Both of them write historicals in interesting time periods so this ought to be fantastic.
Best all (for me) we get to have JOEY W. HILL will be doing a workshop on going from epublishing to New York. That ought to be FANTASTIC.
SASHA WHITE will do a Q&A on BURNOUT: How to avoid it and how to deal with it.
It’s going to be awesome.

To this flu that has swept through my house
If this is the swine flu, I feel damn sorry for the pig. It’s been AWFUL! It was so bad, the Redneck called in sick!

I’m pretty sure my hubby is just getting over the swine flu, himself. Better now than in the fall/winter, I think.
I’m not at the conference, but I’m hoping for next year…how ’bout you?

Almost everyone I know had this flu, including Gramps. It is indeed one bad SOB.
