Conventions
I've overextended myself on conventions this year. There are many reasons to go to various conventions for a writer:
Romantic Times (to promote and meet readers and friends)
Romance Writers of America (or other professional association -- to network with editors and agents and colleagues and meet friends)
Archon (see above link -- to promote, and, hey, guess what two of my favorite people will be there -- Harry and Susan Squires -- Harry writes as H.R. Knight)
Mile Hi Con (to have fun with friends, to promote -- hey, I've been going to this one for years!)
World Fantasy Con (to network -- but I have to miss this one, my niece is getting married)
So that's it. Next year I'm already promised to RWA in Atlanta, where my agent is, and Romantic Times, where a good friend, Linnea Sinclair is.
But if you're an introverted writer -- these can be exhilerating but draining.
See you online, and may you find inspiration within and without today.

I always dread cons and appearances but then enjoy the heck out of them once I'm there. Looking forward to my first RWA and possibly RT cons next year.
Yes, I am hoping that I'll have fun. Maybe fun enough to do it again when I am better prepared (ha, ha, ha).
Thanks for the thoughts. Good Luck at the Southern Festival, Chey.
