RT 2009…………

The topic of conversation this week is RT 2009.

Yes, I admit I was a virgin to RT and I was totally blown away with the energy at this convention. Fairy Balls, vampires and hot men…Oh My!

I got to meet friends I talked to on-line and there is always that moment, of OMG will they like me, will they be the same on-line. And let me tell you – they weren’t…THEY WERE BETTER!!!

We were like the four musketeers. Very seldom did you see LKap without Vicki, Munk and Sue, and I loved every minute of it. And I can’t wait to do it again. Once I catch up on my sleep that is.

There was a special breakfast for Wicked Writers and the energy was so charged – even at that time of the morning. So to name drop just a little , our breakfast consisted of sharing a meal with Shayla Black, Sasha White, Sylvia Day, Cathryn Fox, Mackenzie McKade, and Karin Tabke. Talk about being star struck. Authors are my rock stars, so I was in heaven. Even though I have talked to almost all of these authors on line it is so not the same as sitting next to them and sharing a meal, or two. Let me tell you, if you don't know them - shame on you, because they all rock really hard as people and authors - run and get their books - I'll wait. *whistle, whistle, whistle*

Okay one more thing about RT, 'cause it was cool ....

Smart Bitches twittered about V and I – How cool is that! All because we gave her a pen when she needed it. Sarah was so cool too.

I now completely believe in this rule: Don’t stress.

Why you say.

Because I went to this convention for a girls weekend away, to have breakfast and to go to a book signing. That’s all, nothing else. I came away with wonderful memories, awesome new friends – some authors, some not, and memories that will stick with me forever. There is some other stuff, but that’s for a later date ;-)

Hugs

I just checked out Munk's blog and saw pics of you guys. Lovin the hair!!!

I think just going there to have a good time might be the best possible way to experience it.

LKap said...

V - yes I know I need to get my pics done ;-)

Brandy -
The experience was so great I loved going as just a fan with no expectations - because then anything was possible. Sometime you need to hang with us ;-)
