The Cherry On Top

I’m on my way to Orlando today for the annual Romance Writers of America conference. As you’re reading this, I’m probably sitting on the plane…grinning.

Or, perhaps, signing books at the Literacy Signing…grinning.

Or meeting up with my friend, Lynn…grinning.

Or simply wandering around the conference resort…grinning.

Yep, that’s right. I’m excited about this trip. Very excited. It’s an action packed four days with meetings (editors, agents, publishing folks), parties (pajama party, karaoke party, cocktail parties, balls, award dinners, etc), and much-needed time with one of my very favorite pals (translation: girl chat…all night long).

You see, being a writer is fun. It really is. But it can be rather isolating at times. So, when an event like this comes along (especially one such as RWA that is a tough act to follow in all regards), it’s a chance to get out and talk with people who actually want to hear about my day. It’s a real boost.

I’m taking my camera this time. And I’ve even promised myself I’ll actually take pictures at all the events (I’m wonderful at bringing my camera, not so good at remembering to use it).

In the meantime, is there something you look forward to each year (either at work or home)? Something that takes you away from the norm for even just a few glorious hours?
