Planning A Party

Bogged down with LARA happenings (all of my own doing of course.) I decided this is our 20th anniversary and we’ve never celebrated a birthday before. The committees are up and running and I have fingers in so many pies I’m not writing enough on my current novel. I had even stepped away from my critique group, the Four Fabulous Fictionists (and various past and honorary members) for a time out. I love fundraising and development, especially special events so got caught up in the initial frenzy of organizing with my buddies, Jodi, Deanne, and Trish. I mean who doesn’t like a party? Ours is scheduled for May 6th, a luncheon after the half-day workshop and non-members are not only welcome they will be greeted with open arms.

You should come, yeah, Susan owes you an appointment, or a critique or something. ;) However, that said, she's back at Avalon and they publish sweet romances in hardcover. Not the stuff she was acquiring at Berkley. Your love stories are a bit steamy if memory serves me well. Make that ultra hot! :0
I have one story that might work for her line, but not sure. I'll play with it a bit and see. Actually, Avalon romance is the type of writing I was doing before joining LARA. Before critique group told me to "hot" everything up. Wish I'd known about them way back when. Sigh. Don't know if I'll ever get this writing thing right. I'm like the hamster on the little wheel, constantly chasing its tail ...
