  • RWA 2010 Day 2: Eloisa, Agent, Etc.

    Blog

    I volunteered to report on today’s happenings at the Romance Writers of America convention for the Ruby Slippered Sisterhood (my fellow 2009 Golden Heart finalists), so I’m not going to repeat myself; you can read it here.

    I will say that the post is slightly misleading because I didn’t attend most of the events that I reported on. I know, I’m terrible. But, I had lunch with Eloisa James (squee!) and was too nervous beforehand to eat. Then, I had a meeting with my agent, and was so hungry after that that I returned to my room, ordered room service, and talked to my parents before going out for dinner with some fellow writers.

  • RWA 2010 Day 1: Nora, Nora, Nora

    Blog

    The conference officially kicked off today with the Annual General Meeting of RWA, which I skipped in a desperate attempt to catch up on sleep. Unfortunately, several hundred/thousand other people had the same idea, and they apparently ended the meeting after only fifteen minutes because they didn’t have quorum to conduct official business. I feel like a slacker/user for not doing my civic duty — but then again, I’m pleased that I slept eight hours last night, so clearly my guilt doesn’t run very deep.

  • RWA 2010 Day 0: Settling In, Catching Up, and Trying Not to Be a Fool

    Blog

    The 2010 RWA conference doesn’t kick into high gear until tomorrow, but I overscheduled myself as usual — rather than giving my poor California body clock a chance to catch up, I forced myself out of bed at 7:30am (4:30am at home, alas), into a dress AND makeup AND defrizzed hair (miracle of miracles), and downstairs in time to attend the Beau Monde retreat. The Beau Monde is a special-interest online chapter devoted to all things Regency; I joined a couple of months ago, and am consistently impressed by the quality and quantity of historical knowledge demonstrated on the loop.
