Hello everyone. I'm home, not nearly rested enough, but thought I had better report on nationals.

Actually I don't have a lot to report. I'm generally a very boring person---you know that person that kind of hangs out at the back of the room with a smile on her face... yup, that's me.

So, I started the conference with the EJ/JQ BB party. It was great to meet so many BB people! The evening was all about standing in line with Courtney Milan for the literary signing! We didn't realize how far back we were until we turned the corner to go into the room and there had to be like 700 more people in front of us! But, we prevailed and raced to Tessa Dare's spot (we preplanned the race by figuring out where she was approximately on the map, LOL) And we were some of the first in line to get a brand spanking new Tessa Dare novel, Goddess of the Hunt.

After that, I don't remember much of what I did besides lunch and brekky dates with my editor and agent.

I went to very few workshops. I'm not sure why. I planned to go to at least five and I only went to one. I think I was a little overwhelmed the first couple of days so was slow and doing anything aside from talking with anyone who happened to sit beside me. There were just so many people there, and you could literally go a day without seeing anyone you knew.

The best part of the trip was probably sitting and chatting with the many friends I've made online over the years and making new friends.

Not once did I take out my digital camera, so I have zero pictures. PJ, where are you? You always had your camera out.

Maybe next year I will be better prepared to report on this! LOL
