Well, Saturday at Nationals ended up being quite busy. I went down to breakfast, went to a workshop on making a brand for myself, then suddenly had to lie down.
Lunch with Christina Dodd was fun and inspiring. I don't think I'll ever forget what she said as long as I write. Kim Louise taught me how to write more, I heard what Avalon wants from submissions, and Stephanie Bond talked about branding yourself, and did so in a completely different way than the first workshop.
The Golden Heart and RITA awards ceremony was intelligent and fun. My two friends from L.A. Romance Authors didn't win, but I'm still so proud of them.
Someday, that might be me.
I got a couple of requests from my "speed dates" with an agent and an editor. So, today, I take things in hand.
I have to confess, I wasn't happy with the revision of Spellbinder. Some things Charlotte Maclay said in her workshop in June made a few things fall into place, though. I smacked my forehead and here I am, revamping the whole darn thing.
That's okay, though. I'm good with improving what I've done. It's not the writing at this point, although I'm sure I'm better than I was even a year ago. It's the storytelling. I think I can handle it better. Brian May, guitarist for Queen, said, "Nobody creates in a vaccuum." Sometimes it takes talking to others to make things click.
I'll check in tonight. I'll have some pictures to show you.
