Child with a severe never ending migraine and all that, you know how it is. Anyway, I've been to one conference but it was small, only a few hours long. But I did get to pitch to Leah Hultenschmidt and meet Gemma Halliday. You'll have a blast, and you'll come home on fire. Have a great time. Can't wait to hear about your time.

I've got great guest accommodations complete with a private bedroom, bath, two noisy kids, two barking dogs, a smartass husband in an extremely messy chaotic house. :) It would be better to come in the spring or summer, but Susan Elizabeth Phillips is doing a book signing not far from me this February (possibly the worst time to be anywhere near Chicago)!

You may kick my ass, but you'll know I was there. I once left my purse in a McDonalds outside the Cleveland airport. Then realized it was missing once I got to PITTSBURGH! Yeah, that flight to eliminate the 8 hour drive turned into a 12 hour drive. *sigh* I used to say that about getting into a fight. You may kick my ass, but you’ll know I was there.

I love that. We may have to tweak Jack's immortal words to writing too: It may be the shittiest first draft ever written, but it is finished. *LOL* “It may be the worst pitch you’ve ever heard, but you have heard of me…” I love that.

I'm pretty sure this is the agent who let me send her 3 chapters and she still hasn't written back to me. Pretty sure she wasn't impressed.
