1 quart bag of toiletries per traveler? Just 1. Gah. How supremely frustrating. I’m determined to carry on and not check. I hate airline travel. Why ate we the only industrialized nation without high speed rail? Send to Kindle

Bloggers aren’t the only ones recounting their adventures in San Francisco. Authors do it (and have done it before bloggers even began attending). Jude keeps track of everyone at Blogging Nationals where you can find the most up to date information about RWA San Francisco such as Louisa Edwards pre-conference horror story of the hotel(…)

RWA is a writer’s conference. It is about the business and craft of writing. As a non aspiring writer, I went as a fan and a blogger to see what it was all about. While some authors were not happy to see readers and bloggers at RWA, most everyone that I met was delightful. Of(…)

My fingers are tired of typing one line posts (as I guess some are tired of reading them). Today is a less frenetic day. I met Heather Osborn for lunch and she shared some interesting projects that she is looking at including one with an Elizabeth Vaughan like feel. I reminded her that Jayne and(…)

Met with Julia Quinn. Talked about family, and how she thought Jayne’s review was respectful and honest. And that because she is married to a doctor she sometimes gets mail that says in all caps “finally! The Syphillis treatment you’ve been waiting for!!!” Send to Kindle

A belated Friday update. I was out most of the day and fell onto the bed in an exhausted stupor so I failed to bring up the big update. I met with Romance Novel TV ladies, Maria and Marisa . They are twins and sometimes referred to as the M&Ms. These two ladies are professional(…)
