I cannot over state how fantastic writing conferences are. It’s so important to connect with other writers. #WritingCommmunity #RomanceWriters

89% of people say they have a book in them. 3% of people actually write that book. 1% of them gets published. With three completed manuscripts since August I am happy to be part of that 3% and I’m working on becoming the 1%. #WritingCommmunity #RomanceWriters.

I got a good 30 minutes in on the elliptical but the line from Starbucks is just too much for me.#Thursday. #Starbucks.

Phenomenal first day of the conference. Made a lot of new writer friends. #RomanceWritersOfAmerica #WritingCommmunity #RWA2023 #RomanceWritersOfTwitter

Oh, I love when I go to the gym at the hotel and then come back and my room is clean. If only I could get my husband to do that at the house.

Good morning! Getting a good workout in before day one of RWA!

Here I am! Just checked into my hotel and ready for the @romancewriters annual conference. It is my first romance writers conference. Wish me luck!! #RWA2023 #RomanceWriters #RomanceWritersOfAmerica
