No girl forgets her first.
As in her first RWA conference. Mine was Atlanta 2006. Ah, yes, I still remember the Harlequin Party at the Ritz Carlton and the meet-up with the OCC crowd. The boxes and boxes of books stacked in conference rooms, waiting to be opened. The great speech Nora Roberts gave that year.
And my hotel room.
The toilet didn’t work. There I was, just off the Atlanta Link shuttle, exhausted from the long flight, bags in my room, shoes off, when I had to wait for maintenance…
And wait…
And…
Like I said, you remember your first.
Hopefully everyone’s loo is in good working order at this year’s national conference once again being held in Atlanta July 17-20th, but I can’t help but chuckle when I look back at my experience at RWA 2006.
Here’s the video I shot of my bathroom saga:
Guess who?
I’m your new e-Reader. All sexy swirls and curly Qs. Just waiting for you to click me on and take you to paradise.
Yes, I know, your rabbit vibrator made the same promises…but I’ve got something special to offer you.
I’ve got romance.
I can sweep you away to that special place in your mind where you can fall in love over and over again…and have great sex.
So, put away your bunny vibe and hop aboard!
I’m trim and gorgeous. Sexy design. Botox-smooth case.
Slimmer than I’ve been in years.
Clear, no-glare screens. And those cute keyboards. Like sassy, high-heeled shoes. Makes you want to let your fingers do the walking.
And no more of those pesky page numbers to get in the way. It’s like weighing yourself after you’ve gone on your mocha latte splurge. Who wants to know?
I do have a pet peeve about those TOCs. Half the time the Table of Contents key doesn’t work, sending ahead in the story and you know who’s sleeping with whom before you’ve guessed. it.
And don’t talk to me about Bookmarks.
They’re like old boyfriends who won’t go away. Once you’ve marked them, you’re stuck with them.
Ah, but I can’t stop drooling over the hunky guys on the Cover. Muscle-bound heroes to die for.
Hmm…if I could add just one thing to my e-Reader software…
It would be to have the Cover Hunk in 3-D.
All of him…and you know what I mean!
Happy Romance e-Reading in 2013!
Best,
Jina
