Well, three quarters of the Pens (Boo-Hoo, we wish Gigi and Martha were coming too!) are heading off to the Romance Writers of America annual conference next week, so we thought we'd offer a few packing tips.
Items not to forget:
1. A notebook: you will be struck with idea after idea, bring a notebook so you can write them all down, because invariably you are brain dead after a week of social interaction and will forget if you don't
2. Chocolate: you will need sustenance after running the gauntlet of hallways and conference room mazes to find your workshops
3. The most comfortable shoes you own: even if your shoes are comfortable, by the end of the day your feet are going to hurt
4. Corkscrew: if you choose to forgo the bar one night and buy your own, you won't want to wait an hour for housekeeping to deliver a corkscrew so you can dive into that bottle of wine
We're sure there are more comprehensive lists and tips but we feel these are the things NOT TO FORGET :)
Have fun! Be sure to look for us in the various bars and stop by and say hello!
