For the
past few weeks I've been talking here a lot in anticipation about the upcoming
Romance Writers of America National Conference, in Denver , Colorado . Well, it's now come and gone--and I had a fun
time!
For one
thing, as I've mentioned, I was recognized for my 25th Harlequin Book
Milestone. There was a pre-party for
those of us who had special things to celebrate, and then there was the usual
Harlequin party. Usual? Well, usual for those of us who attend it,
but it's not your usual kind of party.
There are a few men there, sure, but it's mostly women writers who get
out on the dance floor, dance and wave our hands and sing along to such fun
songs as "It's Raining Men" and "We Are Family."
I saw some
long-time friends there and made new ones.
I sat between two delightful women at the Literacy Signing and had other
friends come over and talk to me and take pictures. I went to talks given by other authors and
panel discussions as well as keynote addresses where meals were served, too. And I had lunch, along with other authors,
with the delightful head editor of one of the series I write for.
The hotel,
a Sheraton, was a bit confusing, with two towers that had meeting rooms on the
lower floors that were sometimes hard to get to. But it all worked out once I'd been there for
a while and recognized what was where, and I think other attendees felt the
same.
I'm home
now and attempting to get back into more of a usual routine, but I'm still
thinking about the conference and how much I enjoyed it.
Next
year? I hope to go there, too. It'll be in New York City then.
