Just spent a happy few hours filling in my RWA Nationals ‘dance card’! With big happy faces around RWA-WF’s miniconference.
And then got plane tickets. So now it’s very, very official!
So looking forward to this!
Looks like an awesome conference. I can’t wait to go. Is Michael teaching his Romantic Comedy workshop? I took his plotting workshop at National a couple yrs back and it was awesome. Definitely worth taking again.
You guys have put together a dynamic chapter. Are the officers remaining in office next yr?
