Would have probably started walking at that point if the Streak hadn't been available.<br /><br />Hi, Julie. I tackled romance thinking it would be easier than the women's fiction I'd been writing. It's NOT!! Romance is even more difficult. <br /><br />Nice to hear from you. I'll be signing at Texas Star in Abilene August 13. Drop by if you get a chance. Time is on my Web site. www.AnnWhitaker.com. I'd love to meet you and talk writing!Ann Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149579516645503094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006541566481087859.post-17477563547928910032009-07-27T13:26:03.622-05:002009-07-27T13:26:03.622-05:00Sounds like a fun time at RWA.

Delores Washburn sent me your way -- I'm an HSU grad and fellow writer, but you're a little farther along your journey than I am. I'm querying agents. I'll keep my eyes open for your book. Congratulations!Julie Kiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07914386223833117415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006541566481087859.post-63220933068889509592009-07-24T23:32:11.507-05:002009-07-24T23:32:11.507-05:00Sounds exciting, Ann.

Our flight from Chicago was delayed by 2 1/2 hours so we stayed over in Austin again rather than drive on home.<br /><br />Glad your first conference was a success.Linda LaRoquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16672522522233696282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006541566481087859.post-35818337197452684162009-07-24T17:41:51.582-05:002009-07-24T17:41:51.582-05:00Thanks, Carolyn.

I'm glad you got home safely after all your troubles. And I know about fever blisters. I usually get one when I travel, but I didn't this time. However, I didn't notice any fever blister on you. You looked great the whole time.Cara Marsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384839120633419382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006541566481087859.post-85349016711875806002009-07-23T21:53:38.463-05:002009-07-23T21:53:38.463-05:00Thanks, Sue.

What I didn't mention is that the couple in front of us on the "Streak" was from Crawford (15 miles from us), and we had a great time talking to them. Her parents own the Coffee Stop where the former president used to go for burgers. Seems he'd been at his ranch for the last couple of weeks and no one has taken much notice of him. Such is fame.<br /><br />Seems she's also an animal lover so we also talked dogs, and she took some of my cards and bookmarks for Fuzzy Friends, a local no-kill shelter.<br /><br />Which is all to say it wasn't as bad as I probably made it sound. I never realized until I wrote DOG NANNY that I was prone to exaggeration (but only in my writing). I guess Texas has rubbed off on me.<br /><br />I just read the excerpt from your book on your Web site. Now I see why you were a GH finalist. Very well done.Ann Whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149579516645503094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006541566481087859.post-41673508572622297032009-07-23T18:58:26.026-05:002009-07-23T18:58:26.026-05:00LOL.
