If my son is working in Colorado Springs next year, I hope I can come to your writing conference. I love the area. Have fun and tell us all about it next week.
I hope you're having a great time at the conference. :) Can't wait to hear about it.
I actually have a story out to Penumbra for their Pain issue. Here's hoping.
Have a wonderful conference! Looking forward to reading about it.
Have a great time Shannon and thanks for the links. The part about J.R.R. Tolkien is really surprising.
I've always wanted to attend that conference. One of these days. . .
Thanks for the great links.
Hey Shannon!
Look forward to you reappearing on Sunday! The blogging world needs you.
Yes, links and more links. No missing links. And no mention of blog hops or blog fests or the alphabet. Shannon, are you sure you're okay?
Gary :)
Thanks for the links - I'm trying to figure out what a bedroom blogger is (I hope it's totally different than what I'm thinking) - I'm gonna go find out. :)
Susan, thank you! I hope you can come to the conference. If you ever get the chance, let me know in advance.
Mary, I did, thank you!
John, any news from Penumbra?
Maurice, it was surprising, wasn't it? A couple surprised me.
Lee, if you do, look me up!
Gary, it's all for you. ;)
Kimberly, haha, I imagine it was different than what you think. At least a little bit.
