I’m leaving for the Romance Writers of America national conference (in Orlando!) Wednesday, and I have—oh, I don’t know—a bajillion things to do between now and then. So I’m not sure I’ll be as available as I’d like in terms of blogging and such, but I do plan to keep you posted throughout the week/weekend on my experiences.
Hey, Angela . . . I have a lot of crap to do this week!
For instance, I hope to regale you with tales of all the awesomesauce things I’m doing and learning—and all the faboo people I’m meeting.
I mean, I’ve already been invited to sing karaoke with my Twitter soulmate (or Twitsom, as we now call each other), Cambria Dillon and some other cool chicas. So, that should be a decent story, right?
Um—did I mention Twitsom and I haven’t met yet? But we share a love of all things YA, Sour Patch Watermelons, and triathlon-doing husbands, so I’m not worried. We are going to rip on Tim Tebow and sing Lady Gaga, and all will be well with the world.
Unless, of course, we discover we are actually the same person . . . which could be the case? There’s a SFF story just waiting to be written! But I’ll let you know once I meet her Wednesday. 🙂
IN OTHER NEWS
HOLY CRAP—MEG CABOT IS GOING TO BE AT RWA!!!! So, I’m basically dying. And my flight gets in at almost the *end* of one of her author signings, so I’m dying in a different way over that. <frownies> But I’m hoping to stalk catch her another time during the conference.
M told me to wear my tiara when I meet Meg Cabot. Should I? SHOULD I?? Yeah, probably not. 🙂
ON TO OTHER BUSINESS . . .
Tonight—Monday, July 26—I’ll be hosting a live chat on Shenandoah Writers Online (from 9-10 P.M. EST.). The topic is writers’ conferences. Bring any and all questions you have about conferences to the chat—and, if you’ve attended any such functions, we’d love to have you share your experiences!
To enter the chat, simply log into Shenandoah Writers Online and click “Group Chat” at the bottom right of the main screen.
You must be a member of Shenandoah Writers Online to participate in the chat, but we’d love to have you join.*
OK, that’s all for now. Writing this blog post wasn’t even on my list—yeeks!

I think everyone will find the tiara charming! You’ll make many friends!
Here’s hoping!
Oh TWITSOM! I’m so excited to meet you for real. And you’re right, we probably are the same person. And even better — I HAVE A SUGARY/SOURY SURPRISE FOR YOU! Which means if we *are* the same person, I’m going to be one sugared-up conference attendee!
I am wayyyy excited to meet you as well! Is that you? Oh wait – no – it’s me in the mirror . . . ?
I can’t wait for my delicious surprise!
I hope you get to meet Meg. She’s as awesome as she seems. Be sure to blog about it if you run into her. 🙂
You’ve met her? Jealous!
And will do!
