Sounds like a good time was had by all :-)<br /><br />Being in Texas, there are several conferences but I've not yet decided if I want to go to one. I've gotten a little focused on seeing what writing I can knock out this year. We'll see what happens lol!<br /><br />And Three Cheers to C. Lee and her latest release. Very interesting writing process. I can see how keeping the two sentence summary in the MS header can be the perfect way of keeping the story headed in the right direction at all times.Angela Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324366495151363782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-17638967022180116952015-01-20T10:23:16.173-05:002015-01-20T10:23:16.173-05:00Good to see two of my favorite bloggers together :...Good to see two of my favorite bloggers together :) Optimistic Existentialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507986337866049924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-59341064383229332182015-01-20T09:25:01.982-05:002015-01-20T09:25:01.982-05:00Sounds like you and Julie had a lot of fun!
