										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, I&#8217;ve been a bad blogger. Haven&#8217;t been posting much but in my defense, have had lots on with getting Mr Sheikhypants into a fit state for sending, while angsting about my next Samhain submission and also the editing of the next Indulgence that I&#8217;m planning to send off soonish.</p>
<p>Oh and in the middle of that there&#8217;s the Romance Writers of Australia conference that I&#8217;m going to and then the week after that the New Zealand Romance Writer&#8217;s conference. Not to mention Dr Jax being an international jetsetter and flying off to Milan in a week or two &#8211; without me, I may add.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all very busy. </p>
<p>Hopefully when I get back from the Gold Coast I&#8217;ll have some good goss to relate and blackmail pics to post. I&#8217;m pitching to an agent there &#8211; first time evah! &#8211; so wish me luck.</p>
<p>In the meantime I&#8217;ll leave you with a link or two:</p>
<p>This is to the <a href="http://www.thehotpinktypewriter.blogspot.ca/2012/08/mechanics-on-monday-infusing-your-book.html" target="_blank">Hot Pink Typewriter</a> where fellow Indulgence author Victoria James is talking about torturing your characters. Okay, so she doesn&#8217;t put it quite like that, but that&#8217;s the essence of it. And since she posted this the same time I was putting my sheikh through the emotional wringer, I thought it was very appropriate. </p>
<p>Also see here, where the fabulous and talented <a href="http://www.maiseyyates.com/2012/08/12/more-about-the-cowboys/" target="_blank">Maisey Yates has her story of selling to Berkley</a> with a cowboy story! So proud of you girl!</p>
<p>Ummm&#8230;and that&#8217;s about it. Might do a post later about what to do when your characters take you places you really don&#8217;t want to go (not looking at anyone in particular Mr Sheikhypants!). Should you go there or rein them back??  (I let him go there and still can&#8217;t work out whether that was a bad thing or not).</p>
<p> Have a good week, y&#8217;all. </p>The post <a href="https://www.jackieashenden.com/its-conference-time/">It’s Conference Time</a> first appeared on <a href="https://www.jackieashenden.com">Jackie Ashenden - Romance Author</a>.]]></content:encoded>
