Spring has sprung...
Well, almost! It's still alternating between sunny and rainy here in Monterey, but I'm looking forward to switching back to daylight savings time (yes, I know a lot of people hate it, but I hate when it gets dark so early!) and I'm especially looking forward to the Romantic Times convention in Los Angeles next month!
Just FYI, I will also be attending Ellora's Cave's RomantiCon and the GayRomLit retreat in New Orleans later this year.
In other news... got myself unstuck on my WIP and have chugged ahead. 12K and counting. My two young heroes are about to get together (finally!) within the next couple of scenes. I can't wait!

Sent!
Woke up around 4:30 this morning itching to get my new manuscript in shape to send to my editor, so I've spent the last five hours doing just that, and writing a synopsis.
Now it's off, so I can spend the next few days getting ready for RT. But first, I get to go exercise!
Ain't I lucky? :P

Decisions, decisions...
I'm already committed (no pun intended!) to attending Authors After Dark and Gay Rom Lit this year. They're both in Georgia - Savannah and Atlanta, respectively. Really excited about Savannah - I've wanted to go there ever since I read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. As for Atlanta... I'm thinking about flying in a couple days early so I can stalk Ian Somerhalder. :)
Which leaves the two big cons of the year, Romantic Times and Romance Writers of America. I haven't been to either in a few years, mostly because I feel lost in the shuffle among all the other, much bigger-name authors. But since I've started self-publishing this year, I'm thinking I should make an effort to get to at least one of them.
I'm leaning toward RT, since RWA's in Atlanta, and I'd rather not visit the same city twice in the same year. And considering RWA's stance toward both e-publishing and self-publishing, maybe RT will be a more hospitable environment.
So, what do you all think?
