I Am Procrastinating

What I do when I'm not doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

RWA Conference Check In

Madness. Utter Madness.

My tweets have the play by play but to summarize so far.

Train ride from San Francisco to Washington DC = stopped toilets, broken refrigeration in dining hall, delays requiring a bus ride to cut off our connecting train, and lots and lots of Gilmore Girls

Days 1-3 of Conference: Opportunities abound for meeting authors. Breakfasts, night-time room-hopping, coffee, the bar, speeches, free autographings - there's an author around every corner. Sometimes, in fact, an author you idolize may find her way into your suite. So be sure to wear pants at all times. Just cuz you're in your own suite doing your own thing, don't think that you're safe. Cuz one of your roommates will let the author you idolize into the room. And that's all I'm going to write about that.

I also got to meet fellow Verla Kayer Ellen Oh who took me out for awesome Korean cuisine after we co-stalked our other Verla cohorts Marissa Doyle and Melissa Marr. Yay for Verla's!

Ok - I'm hoping your return home is way better! How's the conference going? It was so good to see you! And I remembered that book series I wanted to mention - it's the Herbie Brennan Fairie wars series. Did you read that one? Not bad. Let me know how NY goes!!
