RWA National was fun this year, as always. I found myself quite busy and didn’t get to attend as many workshops as I’d have liked. I did attend one in particular, though, since I was its moderator! It was called Multiplicity Rocks: Writing Concurrently in Multiple Genres or Subgenres.
I spent a lot of time at book signings like the Literacy Signing and those held by my publishers, plus meals including a couple with some delightful Harlequin editors. And parties, of course.
I did some sightseeing in San Antonio , too–mostly a river cruise and a visit to the Alamo . Very enjoyable, if you ignored the high humidity and temperature.I unfortunately didn’t stay to see the RITA Awards, which in retrospect I’m now sorry about. You’re probably already aware of it, but our delightful member Laura Drake won the RITA for Best First Book!
How about you–were you there? What did you do? Did you enjoy it?
