It's that time of year again. It's RWA Time.
As many other romance authors have done, I've geared this post to what's occurring in Atlanta within the next two weeks. Romance Writers of America's Annual Conference. Where over 2, 000 romance writers gather for a week of networking!
This will be my second time attending RWA Nationals. My first experience occurred in my home town, New York, New York. I thought since it was my hometown, I'd blend in like a native New Yorker. Ummmm nope. My mind was blown WIDE open.
Every day started at 7am and ended at 2 am. You moved from your room to the workshops to the meeting rooms to the bar. Not necessarily in that order. Sleep was a luxury you couldn't afford -- because let's face it. TWO THOUSAND romance writers in one hotel creates an energy flow that's impossible to plan for. You simply go with it.

RWA11 Luncheon I've been debating on whether or not I should do a post on "What to Bring to Nationals" or "What to Expect" at Nationals. But so many authors have done such a great job. I figured it would be easier to list their posts :)
