Saturday: old friends, family, and BOOKSIGNING!

Saturday morning I was dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh, when^H^H^H Saturday morning I was dashing through the breakfast line when I saw, all unexpectedly, Winifred Halsey, who was the judging editor at the 2002 RMFW conference–the conference that lit a fire under my ass to get this whole writing thing going. I went to that conference to talk to Winifred, because I wanted to talk to an editor about my work, and having placed in the contest (which I knew I would), there was my…

Friday: family, friends, sf museum, space needle :)

Friday: family, friends, sf museum, space needle :) I woke up ridiculously early on Friday, having gone to bed at like 8:15. Or maybe 9:15.

I’m still a combination of TOTALLY WIRED and TOTALLY TIRED. But dear God sleeping in my own bed was nice. I’m going to go out and get thank you notes and write those this morning, and finish my writeup and post pictures, and … do whatever other zillion things need doing today.
