It’s mid July and time once again to attend the RWA National Conference. This year it’s in DC. Not only will I be able to catch up with writer friends, I’m having dinner with an ex-neighbor from St. Louis. I can’t wait. I’m packed, my pitches are polished, and I’ve highlighted the workshops I want to attend.

Last year in one of the workshops, I met Kristan Higgins, who finaled and won a RITA. This year many of us will be cheering a good friend on to win a Golden Heart. We’re getting all dressed up for you Elizabeth! You go, girl! (For details about the RITA’s & Golden Hearts, check out www.rwanational.org)

Tune in next week for exciting details about the conference. Until then, enjoy the summer heat. Hugs — Christine.
