The NJRW Conference (Finally)
MENTAL STATUS: "Stressed!" Mom's birthday is this weekend. I have no gift yet. Eeep.
I can finally talk about the NJRW conference! But... unfortunately, I waited too long and now I forget everything I wanted to say.
--Just kidding--
Okay, I don't want to bore you, so I'll just make a few brief observations:
**The best workshop I took was Lisa Scottoline's "How to Write a Novel". I could have listened to her ALL DAY. She was so funny!
**J. R Ward really is as cool as she looks.
**Samhain Publishing rocks! Angela James took us Samhain authors out to dinner and treated us to a wonderful steak dinner. (And the best meal I had all weekend) Yum!
**Books I bought at the Literacy Signing:
Autumn Leaves by Candace Gold
Line of Scrimmage by Marie Force
A Little Slice of Heaven by Gina Ardito
**Friendly and funny authors I met: Well, let's see...
I chat with Ann Roth from the eHarlequin boards all the time, so it was so fun to actually talk to her face to face. Also, it was great to meet and chat with fellow Samhain authors Bianca D'Ark and Allie Boniface. And I made two new best friends in authors Gina Ardito and Candace Gold. (Pictured below with me)

I agree; Lisa Scottoline was hilarious. Loved her.
YES! - meeting you and Cyn was the best part (and it better not be the last time we're at a conference together!) It was fun and I'm glad you got your nice dinner out!
It's so wonderful that you finally got to meet your crit partners. Hopefully we'll get to meet each other one day.
As far as your dinner goes, you're lucky you have a perceptive husband. If I came downstairs dressed up, DH still would've take me to McDonald's! :)
Your hubby sounds a lot like mine. lol Don't you find conferences both invigorating and exhausting?
Oh I'm so jealous! LOL. I'll just have to live vicariously through pics and posts. ;)
Sounds like you had a great conference. Great you met your crit partners and made some new connections. And got a nice dinner too!
What a good hubby! And sounds like the conference was tons of fun!!! I'm jealous!
Glad you were able to meet your crit partners and other interesting people! Your hubby is a sweetie.
Now, happy writing to you after being inspired.
Great pic, Jen!
Looks like you had a terrific time...and yeah, your hubby gets a big aaaawwweee!
Loved meeting you too, sweetheart. You and Cyn gave me some of the best laughs of the weekend. I'm hoping to go again next year and I'll be looking for ya! Enjoy "Slice."
And hug that hubby. I'd get dressed to kill only to find my man napping on the couch. And if I woke him, he'd simply say, "How 'bout you make blackened tuna instead?" Ummm...yeah, it's happened. Too many times for me to count.
