SQUEE!!! This time next week, I'll be getting all dolled up for the Harlequin ''Roaring Twenties'' cocktail party at the Romance Writers of Australia 20th Conference.
To say I cannot wait is a MASSIVE understatement.
Going to RW Oz, is one of the most inspiring things on my annual calendar. Not only do I KNOW I'm going to be blown away by fabulous speakers and have light bulb moment after moment at the workshops, but I get to catch up with people who have become some of my closest friends.
This year specifically, I'm looking forward to:
- Getting my first sale ribbon thanks to the fabulous Carina Press who bought my book One Perfect Night, which will be a December release.
- Meeting Angela James - also of Carina Press.
- Going to the Harlequin Author Dinner on Thursday (because Carina Press authors are Harlequin authors).
- Networking with other writers, editors and agents.
- Listening to Susan Wiggs - who I've recently started to read and of whom I'm now a HUGE fan.
- Going to Fiona Lowe's workshop - having been to a few of hers before now, I KNOW we'll be in for a huge treat!
So what about you? Will I see you at RWAus11? What's your favourite thing about going to conference?

I can't wait!! I think my fave things are the same as yours, Rach, seeing friends and those lightbulb moments - just being immersed in writing for a few days *bliss*.
I go in 5 sleeps...
Rachael, have a FABULOUS time! (think that goes without saying) And congrats again on that first sale ribbon!!!!
I'm excited for you! And I want to hear all about it and see the photos!
That's a great list Rach!
Catching up with friends, attendng workshops, raiding the mini-bar . . . looking forward to all of it.
I'll be there! Just a quickie for me this year though, so I'll miss the H dinner :sob:
Looking forward to seeing you accept your first sale ribbon!!
My favourite thing about going to conference will be seeing YOU!!! :-) Oh and being getting the High Five award. But that's a distant second.
Sounds like a fabulous time, Rachael. Have fun and take pictures!
J-E-A-L-O-U-S!
I'm so excited about your ribbon and I can't wait to see the pics!
Thank you everyone - can't wait to catch up with some of you and post gossip and photos for the rest.
Lacey - when are you gonna make it to a conf? x
I have my fingers and toes crossed for 2012 and beautiful Perth :-)
Wow Rach, what a wonderful post! I also got a lot out of Bob Mayer's workshop. And I agree with Helen, you summed up his workshop perfectly. Loved the photos too!
