San Francisco–with or without flowers in my hair!

Every year Romance Writers of America holds an annual conference. This years was in SF CA. I had not attended for 9–count em–NINE years.
I had forgotten how much fun RWA is!
I got to meet with two of my editors, my agents, AND FRIENDS!!
And this year, my dh accompanied me and had his first taste of RWA. My husband loves to attend meetings where I speak and he was able to watch me give the keynote address at the luncheon at the Faith, Hope & Love Inspirational Chapter mini conference. And he also attended the workshop I gave to the general conference about the ever-expanding Christian romance market.
In September I’m also attending my first American Christian Fiction Writers conference in Minneapolis, MN. I will be participating in their HUGE booksigning at the Barnes & Noble at Mall of America. 107 authors will be signing books Sept 20 Sat 1-3 p.m.
If you live near there, drop by and say HI!!
At RWA, I finally got to meet some of my RWAonline friends. But not nearly enough.
Anybody else attend RWA? Going to ACFW?
The only bad thing about attending conferences is that it puts me behind on my deadlines and how does a house get messier while I’m away???
Where are the house elves when you need them?
Ta!

I was there. The time went by extremely fast and I only attended one workshop! The rest of the time I was busy meeting with other writers, editors, and so on. Oh yeah, I also spent a lot of time walking around San Francisco. That’s the problem with having the conference in such an interesting and beautiful setting — the world beyond the hotel beckons…
