  • Blue Ridge Wednesday

    What a day. Even as I type this, I’m not sure if I can adequately describe it. I’ve been a little frustrated with myself this week. I’m having a great time, meeting people, learning tons, networking, discovering that while I am every bit as weird as I had suspected, so are a lot of other [ read more ]

  • Blue Ridge Tuesday

    Random things I am loving about my conference experience. My room has no TV. So far I’ve eaten meals with Steven James , Angela Hunt , Deb Raney , Vonda Skelton , and  Karen Schurrer  (an editor). My room has a radio that came equipped to play music from my mp3 player. The coffee shop here serves Starbucks. The vending machine on my floor takes credit [ read more ]

  • Blue Ridge Monday

    Wow! I have had an awesome day. I managed to get appointments scheduled with all the agents here, so if nothing else, I’ll get lots of practice making my pitch. I’m taking a continuing class taught by Angela Hunt – which means I get to absorb about 6 hours of writing instruction from a master. [ read more ]

Well, there’s enough laundry to deserve a double mention. On the writing front, I’m almost ready. I’m [ read more ]

  • Two Weeks

    So, the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writer’s Conference (talk about a mouthful) is two weeks away. Two. Insert Darth Vader theme music here. Extra points if you add in the heavy, ominous breathing for the full effect. Are you getting the idea that I’m starting to panic? You would be correct! So, in order to distract myself from the things I should be doing – like polishing [ read more ]

  • Monday Morning

    So, it’s Monday. 8:45 A.M. I’ve already changed four diapers – two of which I probably should have been wearing a hazmat suit for – and apologized to two three people. I’m on a roll! Last week was crazy. But wonderful. I got to spend most of it with my dad, which was awesome. And, we tore out all [ read more ]
