Still at RWA Nationals…so I thought I’d give it a wee tribute.

Thirteen Reasons Conferences Rock

1. Meeting your favorite authors and try really hard to be professional and NOT gush. That last part is key.

2. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

3. Figuring out how the hell to pitch a book. Still working on this one.

4. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

5. Watching people sing karaoke in the bar.

6. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

7. Seeing your dream agent from afar and sighing wistfully.

8. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

9. Book-signing chaos of a bazillion authors in one room and you’re all racing to get the LAST COPY of your fave book.

10. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

11. Listening to keynote speakers who can actually make you laugh. This always surprises me and I expect to be bored. Who knew they were funny?

12. Hanging out with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

13. Drinking in the bar with author friends you don’t see except at conference.

    Ah, honey that’s great. How about “getting “THE CALL” while you’re at conference?
    Congrats, honey.
