So glad you had an awesomem time! I think the RWA conference is probably awesome regardless of country. I’ll be at the Australian RWA one day :).

Robyn – you are SUCH a sweetie! I wish we were all closer so I could have wine and chats with you more often. Sadly the virtual whines (and wines) will have to do until next year. 🙂
Pitch? What pitch? 🙂

Jackie, it was SO wonderful to finally meet you face to face. And drink wine, and chat, and have photos taken, and meet your lovely Mum. Congratulations on your minute of fame, and wishing you plenty more minutes like that!

And you've got the pitch sorted. It's going to be awesome!!

Jo – you better not! Am counting your presence! Yeah, have to say, ain’t the same on Twitter. 🙂 I have to admit to not being keen on accepting the award, not when I know how badly I stuffed up that ms, but actually it was really nice in the end. Got so much support from my peeps – I am very lucky. 🙂

Scarlet – Awww, you sweetie! Yeah, my Mum is the most wonderful support. It was just the best having her along with me. And as to my ribbon…one day. I keep thinking ‘this year’s the year!’ but it’s safer not too. I guess one year I WILL eventually be right! 🙂 My pitch isn’t till this weekend. Aussie was my relaxing conference – NZ is the stressful one. 😉
