Contest Entries and Speaker Applications
So, it's that time of year again...RWA is having their annual conference, and I don't get to go this year :( San Fran is just a little too far with the current airline rates (boooo, gas prices). But, I am over on Romance Divas and doing the NGTC route. They're a blast!
(and thanks to them tonight, I did 800+ words on my new WIP without meaning to!!!) Teresa and Jodie ROCK.
As for writing, contest entry submitted, and yes, that's 25 pages and the synopsis. Although, I'm sure the synopsis isn't what they're used to seeing...oh well, I can't write a dry boring one...for one, my head hurts too much after the paint fumes of the last 2 days (when one is allergic to paint, one should really refrain from painting a whole room, but if you want it done now, you do it.) and for the other, who wants to READ a boring synopsis? Cause lord knows, I don't. BE creative! It's going to be what makes me want to read your work anyway. And this from a technical editor. LOL. (Talk about dry and boring writing ;)).
Next up, Speaker's application for the 2009 RWA Conference which will be in DC! Wooot! So, the app is filled out, need to write an outline and my bio....hmm...that'll take me what....1o minutes?
*grins*
Off to sleep, 6am comes early and I have to run 2 miles...that's IF little man stays asleep. He's shouting over his monitor now, which means nightmares and mommy sleep time is going to be impacted.
I hope you're making all your writing goals this week. Get crackin'!
Namaste.

Good luck with the speaker application! I really want to get to DC for the conference next year, and if I do I'll definitely come see your workshop.
I really wanted to go to SF this year, but it was just too expensive. I promised myself I'd make the effort if I finalled in the Rita, but that wasn't to be. Oh well--I probably won't be entering next year: I had four paperbacks last year but none this year!
