Thirteen Reasons I Wish I Was Going To The RWA Conference



Today's Thursday Thirteen is brought to you by PG&E, My Mortgage Company and Edge Wireless.


Thirteen Reasons I Wish I Was Going To The Romance Writer's Of America Conference


1. Romance Divas Dinner

All the Divas that hang out on the forum and go to conference meet up and get crazy together.

2. The Romance Divas Cleavage Contest
I'd win for size and volume, but I'd lose points for shape I think. But it would be fun to participate.

3. A Week Long Trip
As a mommy, going on a trip is MUCH more fun when it doesn't involve the words "Mommy, I have to puke. Can you pull over?"

4. The Hotel
Okay, I'm shallow, but it would be a blast to stay in a top notch hotel for a week.

5. Crystal Jordan
*Sigh* I would have loved to hang out with this Diva there.

6. R.G. Alexander
I haven't met R.G. yet and I'm dying to.

7. Eden Bradley
Another Diva that I've talked to on the phone and emailed but haven't met yet.

8. Allison Brennen
Romantic Suspense author who is freakin' brilliant. Not only would I have had the opportunity to hang with her (she's in my local RWA chapter) but she was also doing a workshop for those who don't plot. *Le Sigh*

9. Kate Perry
Another great author with a wicked sense of humor, a taste for strawberries and an obsession with tutus. I'd have tracked her down there too.

10. The Wild Rose Press, Cobblestone and Whiskey Creek
I'd love to connect faces with some of the names I know at my publishers.

11. Diana Carlile and Kate Scott
Two of my favorite editors who have helped me along the way. Yeah, they're both going.

12. The Agents
I really wanted to try my hand at the elevator cornering. And begging.

13. The Publishers
Being able to put in "face time" with big publishers (like my dream publisher Berkeley) is HUGE.

Okay, I'm kind of depressed now. I'm hanging in there for next year. San Francisco 2008. *Breaks into "I will Survive"*
