Posted in RWA National, The Writing Life, Washington DC on July 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »

Saturated.  That’s how I feel.   RWA National has that effect. There was just so much happening, every hour.   Long drive home, and work today . . . and all I want to do now is write.   So here are some pictures and captions of a few Friday events.   Doesn’t the old cliché tell [...]

My husband and I arrived in Washington, D.C. Monday.
