RWA Nationals 2007 ~ Greetings From Dallas

Hello, Everyone! Wow, it's been a crazy few days. A crazy, FUN, few days! The energy at conference is just...astounding. There is nothing like being around over 2000 women--and a few men ;-)--who all understand what it's like to have characters and plots and scenes occupying your mind at any given time.

I have gotten some great pictures...um, forgot to pack the card reader, so you're just gonna have to wait until my return to see 'em. Sorry! Hmmmm...I wonder if I can track someone down with a card reader here. I'll have to see what I can manage.

Now, for the exciting news! I have been toying with the idea of running a "Workshop" segment here at Sandra's Goings On. I've approached several fabulous authors who've consented to participate. These will be blog posts about the craft of writing. Wait till you see the line-up! I think I may still be in shock myself. *BG*

Well, I hear the bathroom freeing up, so I'm off to start my day. We have the PRO retreat this morning until noon. Sherrilyn Kenyon will be there, people (And, can I just tell you? Her line at the Literacy Signing? Holy Wow! I can't imagine where she kept all the books! It was every bit as long as Nora Roberts' line, which seemed to go on forever.). I am still in awe of all these great authors in one place.

Have a great day. I'll be checking in soon with more updates, so stay tuned. Got anybody you'd like me to try to get a picture of? Post a comment, and I'll see what I can do.


Sandy :-)

"Something Is Very Wrong In Play Land"

Thank you again, Ursula, for your wonderful title!

All right, here is the much awaited (and promised) posting in the statue oddities found during a field trip with my daughter's kindergarten class.



Please note the...umm, well-defined musculature of his a$$. Oh! And, how about the incredibly phallic elf hat he's sporting.

They get better...er, worse, People!

I will be in Dallas for the RWA National Conference from July 10th - 15th. I may not have time to pop in here during the conference. However, I plan to have pictures this year--that would be pictures my DH doesn't "accidentally" delete to make room on the memory card for his shots. Grrrr!

If any of you will be at the conference, drop me an email! Those I'll be checking all the time. Can't help it. I like to keep in touch.


Sandy :-)
