Greetings from Melbs

And what a fabulous Romance Writers of Australia Conference 2019 that was!  I am so glad I went. The conference has been officially over for an hour now, and we are all exhausted.

I totally got my extrovert on, and boy, the extrovert spends sooo much energy. I couldn't maintain it for the whole weekend.

I am tired, so I shall have to post later. I will do a complete rundown of the Conference in September's newsletter. Sign up now so you don't miss out.

Quick shortlist of things I learned:

• This is my tribe.
• I need to up my marketing.
• If you don't know something, someone there does. Find them.
• It's great to simply listen to others.
• Be bold.
• Business cards serve you well.
• Grab opportunities.

Yeah. More later. My hotel bed is looking nicer and nicer.

RWAus 2020 is in Freo next year.  We welcome you to Western Australia.

What would you like me to tell you about the Conference this year?

A to Z Challenge - recap

So here I am at Stupid O'Clock with a bit of time for quietude and reflection. I made it to the end of another A to Z Challenge. This year was a lot easier (and nicer) than last year. There's a good chance I'll do it again next year.

Things I learned:

• Short and sweet is perfectly acceptable.
• Writing to a theme is a good idea.
• Scheduling posts is your friend.
• I am not an everyday blogger.
• Blogreaders really like lists.

It was good to be able to visit other fascinating blogs. Some of the blogs I visited and really enjoyed:

• Dena's Ramblings 
• John Davis Frain 
• Julie Weathers 
• K. Ridwyn 
• Word Wacker 
• Fiction and Film 
• The Idylls of Alleysiande
• Sue's Words and Pictures 
• Author Support 

You might not hear from me for the next month. May is Birthday Month and I've got a lot of birthdays to cater for. Also, the Rockingham Book Fair is coming up this weekend (I'll be there. Come visit!), Eurovision is the week after and I've got a major project due on the Environment and Climate of Mars and its Potential Habitability (astrobiology).  Much going on.

Meanwhile, it's also the Book Birthday for Her Endearing Young Charms. To celebrate, I'm having a giveaway on Goodreads. May 11-20. Please enter.
