RWA conference--Day 1
All right, I've dug out my notes & am at least moderately prepared to begin reporting on the RWA National Conference in Reno, Nevada. Chances are, other attendees have way more to report than I do. I barely attended any workshops & spent a lot of time just sitting around talking with friends. :-)
DAY 1:
Headed for Reno on Tuesday, a day earlier than I usually fly in. At that point, I was full of energy & looking forward to getting a lot done during the flights.
Started reading MARCHING ORDERS, a Harlequin Intrigue by Delores Fossen, & got completely hooked. This is a wonderful book. If you've never read anything by Delores before, put it at the top of your To Do list and do so immediately. (She has a new book, PEEKABOO BABY, out in September.) She's a marvelous writer. In fact, if I were giving her a cover quote, this is what I'd say: "Delores Fossen writes the kind of stories I like to read--romantic, suspenseful, fabulous! She'll keep you turning pages well into the night...and loving every minute of it!" Such a good book; I didn't get nearly as much writing done on my three flights as I'd planned because I simply could not put this story down. I loved, loved, loved it!
But I did get my Alphie out during the longest leg of the trip. Of course, I had no idea how much I'd gotten done until I was home. The Alphie page counter said I had 8.8 pages, which ended up being 14 manuscript pages. Yippee! I completed an entire chapter on one short-to-middling flight...way more than I'd anticipated.
Arrived at the hotel fairly late--around 7 or 8pm Pacific Time, which would have been 10 or 11pm my time (Eastern). That's okay; I was jet-lagged, anyway, & just wanted to go to bed.
