Where am I going?
Crazy.
Yes, I was at the NJRW's conference over the weekend. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it to all writers. There were workshops on craft, the business, legal aspects, etc. I met some wonderful writers. Refilled the creativity and enthusiasm well. Just . . . awesomeness.
And I pitched A Shot At Forever. Which yielded two partial requests from Sourcebooks and Harlequin.
So that's where I've been. I went and had a blast, then returned home and put the nose to the
On a different note, Ashley Nixon, super nice person extraordinaire, bestowed me with the Sunshine award. And I've been meaning to blog about it ever since.

I like Longmire too. It really ended with a cliffhanger this season.
Congrats on the requests. Sounds like a fun weekend. I'll have to do NJ sometime.
That conference was awesome, wasn't it? Congratulations on your two requests, Ava. I think they call that batting a thousand. :)
And thanks for the snazzy award! I'd better get cracking. Those are a lot of questions to answer, but they should be a breeze compared to the TIC S.A.Ts, right?
Congrats on those requests! Hopefully one of them pans out for you. :-)
Thanks, Sue. I watch Longmire on Netflix, so I'll have to wait a little for the cliffhanger of which you speak.
And Yes, I highly recommend NJ. It's a great conference.
Thanks, Delynn. And yes, do get cracking on those answers! They are definitely easier than the TiC Sea Monkey SAT's for the author interviews I give! lol!
Thanks so much Mischa! And congratulations on your book release!!
Two partials! I'm not saying a thing (no jinxing here) but smiling and crossing my fingers!

Woohoo! Congrats on the requests - that's awesome! Good luck on them and on your queries.
Your fave cocktails sound a bit scary, but I'm with you on Castle and BBT (never seen Longmire). It took me a long time to join facebook, but now I'm very happy with it. Writers are funny, witty, and emotional, so it's a joy to interact with them. :-)
Holy cow, congrats!!! That's amazing! The thought of pitching in person makes me actually consider pretending to be mute. I'm really, really impressed. And it's great to see you back :)
Thanks, Diana! :D
Thanks, Lexa! Longmire is based on a book series by Craig Johnson. Really good.
Dogfish Head is a local independent microbrew in Delaware. Their Festina Peche is fermented with peaches. REALLY good! :)
Thanks, Liz! I wanted to hyperventilate the entire time. That or say, "Is that a rabbit over there?" And when they looked, run away. But I made it through. Now comes the even harder parts. Submitting! lol.
I just followed you on Twitter :)
Love your answers. I like Big Bang Theory and Longmire, too.
That's great news that you got a request for a partial! I hope it leads to a request for a full!
Thanks, Carol! And I gotcha followed back! :D
Thanks, Sherry!! :D
