Tomorrow I’m off to San Fran for the Romance Writers Association National Conference where I’ll be meeting with agents, hooking up with authors I’ve only met online, going to workshops, and just plain hanging out with my writing buddies.

I do plan to keep everyone posted on what’s up at RWA this year and will be periodically blogging from there as well as updating my Twitter page. My tweets should show up momentarily on my blog as well, so don’t be concerned about having two places to check. I’m also on the Blogging National blogroll, where you can find all sorts of RWA Attendees reporting on the events. Some of the events I’m looking forward to: the “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing, the Smart Bitches Trashy Books Bitches At The Bear Happy Hour, and RWA’s RITA/Golden Heart Awards Ceremony (where I’m rooting for my gal pal Terri Garey who is nominated for a RITA).

I heard some sad news today from close friends that their adorable puppy Maggie finally passed away. Maggie, a loving and affectionate companion, was only nine years old and we’ll all miss her.

FOUR FEET

I have done mostly what men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can’t forget, if I wanted to,
Four-Feet trotting behind.

Day after day, the whole day through–
Wherever my road inclined–
Four-Feet said, ‘I am coming with you!’
And trotted along behind.

Now I must go by some other round–
Which I shall never find–
Some where that does not carry the sound
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.

— Rudyard Kipling
