It's Finished! Let It Go!

I am working on this epic manuscript that is longer than a day spent with my mother-in-law and I just can't seemed to declare, Done! Whats with me? I want it to be done. I am quite sick of it actually, but why can't I let this manuscript go?
Now I am to the point of procrastination which is probably just as bad becasue then I really won't ever finish. Now I am not even making ense, which makes it good that i am not working on my manuscript right now in the first place.
Am I speaking English/ I think I'll go wtach TV. My brain is too fried to do anything esle

Like a Virgin... I'm talking RWA Conventions Perv!

It was my first time, and like any virgin, I was nervous. Would I like it? Would I do it right? Did I smell okay? Did I wear the right underwear? Fortunately for me I was going with three very experenced conventioners. Welcoming? Hell yes!

And possibly the craziest coolest women I have ever met!

You ever have the perfect martini? All the elements are there, Vodka, Vermouth, lemon twist... They all work in perfect tandem and when you take a sip... yum taste orgasm. Thats what Jen-T, Kari -T and Barb-W are! Together they are the perfect combination. I felt like the olive, an unnessasary garnish, but fit in just fine!

Hmm... first I'm a virgin, now I am an Olive. Leave it to a lack of sleep and a Dramamine induced coma to mix my metaphores.

Where the hell was I?

Oh yes, my new girls. we are comming up with a name. In my head, I am already calling us the "The Smack Pack" for two reasons . (1) We all like to talk and (2) We all apprechaite "good people" and would smack the hell out of somebody who wasn't. Thats what I like about this crew. Kind, supportive, but doesn't take shit from anyone. Even Barb, who is probably the most gentlest person I have ever met, told me a road rage story about how she "f-bombed" and flipped some guy off on the road the other day with her mom in the passenger seat.

I love multi dementional characters!

I also dug how supportive everyone was. Not catty, not underhanded. Cool, very talented ( Kari won the PUT YOUR HEART IN A BOOK award), and god damn could they dance. (Jen-T missed her calling as a tour dancer for Christina Agullerra. If she isn't on the bestseller list in a year a two, I am glad she has something to fall back on.) And sing too! You never heard a better kerioke version of "What I Like About You!" We brought out the best in each other. Hell, we even are coolaberating on a project.

I have lots more to say about the convention, but the truth is I am still stoned on Dramaine from the drive home. This Virgin is worn out! My first time was so great, I am already thinking about the next time.

"Cakes' the Convention Whore!

Or wait..Am I still an Olive?
