Great Weekend

So, I have to tell everyone about my weekend. Some of you know and some of you don't know that I have been writing a book. This past weekend I went to a 'Romance Writers of America' conference for the Utah Chapter. I had an appointment with an agent to pitch my story. I'm excited to tell everyone that she asked for my first 3 chapters and my synopsis. Wish me luck. My goal is that by this time next year I have a contract to publish my book.

If any of you have ever read 'Julia Quinn', she was the key-note speaker. I really like her books and so it was a true thrill for me to meet her. I found out that she and I have similar stories. She decided to start writing when she realized that she could write the same type of stories she enjoys reading. I had lunch with her and had the opportunity to pick her brain. It was awesome.

The entire weekend was inspiring. I was able to attend several workshops that truly motivated me and helped me in my writing career. I will let you know when I send her my chapters.

Wish me luck!
