This time tomorrow, I will be in Tulsa, listening to Diana Gabldon lecture about writing sex scenes! Now this could come in handy, since I am seriously considering throwing my hat into the Erotica arena.
Hmmm, that sounded bad, didn't it? Let me clarify. There is a short story contest that I am entering. The publisher of the magazine I write for wants me to submit something. I have my Gede story, that I could write an ending for, but I also have a short story I wrote during my writing class. It was more of a "let's dare the old married lady to write about sex"...HELLOOOOOOOO, I have 5 kids...do ya think I'm clueless?
Needless to say, it made most who read it blush. Then there is the problem of the author's name to use...I am so not going to take credit for THAT! I mean, I would, but only a select few would know it was really ME that wrote it.
Okay, let's get back to Conestoga. It is going to be my first writer's convention. It is geared towards Sci-fi/Fantasy/Paranormal. My Gede stories certainly qualify me to attend without feeling like too much of an idiot. Although my first complete MS is Historical Romance (big difference), my only published work is fantasy/paranormal.
When I get back, I will have to post some pics and tell everybody how it went. I am getting psyched!

Ok, if you do that, you are a far braver woman than me! It's weird b/c I'm pretty liberal, but writing erotica? Not so much my forte...but something tells me you just might be pretty good at it (5 kids did you say?!) HAVE FUN THERE! :)
Happy Connestoga dear. Talk with you when you get back? Are you coming to the Writers Group meeting this week?
Bet wishes,
