Like any of my other ‘careers’ in my serial careerist world, I like to jump in with both feet. This LONG weekend, I’m attending my first Romance Writer’s of America conference in San Francisco. Some wise person urged me to go, saying writing books and keeping them on a bedside table is a little weird, maybe I should try to sell them.

So, I signed up to pitch one of my books to an editor, and the conference was really just an aside to my single minded focus on a GOAL.

Well, it’s been interesting. I’ve never been in a room with so many readers and writers at one time. Meeting writers is a little weird. While I like reading books – enough that DH has nicknamed me ‘nose in a book’ – I don’t know if I need to see the people who write them. It’s like meeting actors in person. It’s interesting, but they’re creative process is all in their head.

After the luncheon today (how I despise hotel food), I’m off to sessions on craft, and publishing, etc.

We’ll see how it goes . . . .
