Hopefully I won't forget anything.<br /><br />@Jarm:I hope you get to go to one soon!<br /><br />@Kenda: I'm convinced volunteering is the way to go. I just spent a couple hours unpacking boxes of books for the conference bookstore. Got to browse books and talk to some of the authors.<br /><br />~DebbieDebbie Maxwell Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533418585502995994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-68568568222202098252012-04-18T20:48:06.634-06:002012-04-18T20:48:06.634-06:00It's neat to read what volunteer opportunities...It's neat to read what volunteer opportunities you're taking advantage of, and the whole conference sounds pretty exciting.

When I pitched to Joanna Volpe last year, she asked me what else I was working on. I wasn't very smooth with those, since I hadn't practiced them. This year, I'll be prepared!<br /><br />~DebbieDebbie Maxwell Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533418585502995994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-57828857323375520812012-04-18T13:30:10.919-06:002012-04-18T13:30:10.919-06:00I look forward to the day when conferences don'...I look forward to the day when conferences don't mean special childcare arrangments. But it's worth it and they'll survive. After all, they got the bug last week and shared it with me so they'd be feeling better and I could go to the conference with a sore throat and stuffy nose. Love those boys!<br />Today, I'm working on summarizing my WIP. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to pitch something that isn't finished, but I already have the hooks for my two finished paranormal romance novels down pat. And I can't help being excited about my work in progress!<br />See you soon!Evangeline Denmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751937297015889994noreply@blogger.com
