Somebody Pinch Me

ACFW sent out a list of all the authors who will have books in the conference book store come September. This gives all of the conferees a chance to salivate over the list and budget for extra books for the next month or so.

I clicked the email, and perused the first few lines, looking for familiar names.

Christina Berry
Diana Brandmeyer
Margaret Brownley
Candace Calvert
Brandilyn Collins …

WAIT A MINUTE!! What was that first name? I truly had forgotten that I would be joining the ranks of the published authors at that conference. I am such a goober! It’s too awesome to be real.

I’m in the last minute readying for the OCW conference. Some staff, including myself, will be on site Sunday, though it doesn’t officially kick off until Monday. I haven’t gotten as much done today as I had hope to, but I feel what I can only describe as “percolating.” I’m restless, distracted, calm … which will soon kick into a highly-focused, frantic productivity.

How many times can I use “conference” in one post?? Maybe we could schedule a conference call to discuss it. 🙂 Sorry, folks, one-track mind.

    The smallest things make me so happy.

    Wendy, every now I get an email from ACFW saying someone credited me for making them he or she join … gives me warm fuzzies!

    Congrats.. I think it is funny that you over looked yourself at first.

    Yay, I plan on picking up a copy, if they aren’t all sold out, and getting your John Hancock!

    That’s so awesome! I remember when I first met you and you were learning how to pitch. Can’t wait to read your first baby.

    I’ll miss seeing you at OCW this year. I hope you are having a wonderful time.

    Susan, someday we’ll have to Snoopy dance together in reality!

    Jessicue, maybe my ego isn’t getting too inflated? I can always hope. 😉

    Judy, it was SO good to see you. I want to read more when you have more.

    Winnie, they’ll probably only order in 10 copies or so since I’m so new. Better hurry! (Truly, I have no idea if I should request a certain number to be on hand???)

    Donna, as you can see from Winnie’s comment, we all LOVE you and MISS you!

    Lynetta, hopefully I’ve learned a thing or two, eh? 😀
