Pity Party

Today is the first day of RWA National Conference.  No, I’m not there.  I keep telling myself I’m not sad at missing it – maybe by the time it’s over, I’ll even believe it.  It would help if I were getting a lot of productivity out of my forced stay-at-home session,  but I’ve scraped a mere 1000 words out the last two days.

My attempt to convince myself that no one is having fun in Dallas sent me off to Blogging National.  Then I remembered that last year?  I was Blogging National.  So that didn’t help.

Then I headed over to the brand spankin’ new RWA official conference blog, with a welcome from president Jill Limber.  I spent a few minutes poking around the new RWA site .  I’m impressed so far – it is a hugongously vast ginormous improvement over the last one.  That was entertaining for a few minutes, but it couldn’t distract me for long.

I was hoping to find the announcement re: Rita/GH and PAN decisions that was made at the board meeting, but evidently “noon” doesn’t mean EST time zone, but probably Texas Time.

So probably I should get off the self pity boat and get some work done, instead of compulsively checking back to see if anyone’s having fun in Texas?
