The Boyfriend is saying "go" and I'm waffling because of the money. I love attending RWA, but when I have to fly (as opposed to drive) it makes me pause a bit.<br><br>I think most of the librarians at the event already know how "cool" romance is - so it's sort of like preaching to the choir. Personally, I'd love to hear why <i>you</i> like romance so much. Why do you keep writing it? I mean, you're NORA ROBERTS (!!), at this point I think you could parlay your talent into any genre/arena you wanted - but you keep coming back to romance. There's got to be a reason right?<br><br>Also, you've been in the industry a long time. You've seen things, you've heard things. Let's face it, the business is probably a little different today than it was when you started out. Or maybe it isn't? I'm always fascinated when writers talk about what it was like to start out, and changes they've seen over the years. Sort of like opening a time capsule.<br><br>I'm drawing a blank. Seriously. Times like this I wish I was smarter, more clever, and able to string my thoughts together in cohesive sentences. Maybe I'll toss out this request in a future blog post? Have the librarians who read my blog offer some ideas as well....Wendyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-57161900063989461922007-03-26T05:01:00.000-07:002007-03-26T05:01:00.000-07:00This isn't about the Ritas, but it connects to...This isn't about the Ritas, but it connects to RWA, so it's kind of on topic. <br><br>What would you like to hear about in a keynote speech if you were attending the librarian function at RWA's national this summer?<br><br>I gotta write this sucker, and it seemed like a good idea to go straight to a librarian before I got started.Nora Robertsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-3463679844444007142007-03-25T17:08:00.000-07:002007-03-25T17:08:00.000-07:00Tired of Rita talk yet.

But I don't see why some want to get us involved in them when, at least me - could care less. I've won awards at work but other than telling my immediate family and maybe mentioning it to a few coworkers, I didn't tell anyone else because - they really wouldn't have cared and I wouldn't have expected them too.Kristie (J)http://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-35316340576523654942007-03-25T15:48:00.000-07:002007-03-25T15:48:00.000-07:00Thank you. :DThank you. :DBev (BB)http://www.blogger.com/profile/10715795764153520214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-75467166317071499652007-03-25T15:30:00.000-07:002007-03-25T15:30:00.000-07:00I agree with you on this one!

People don't want to be told what's best for them to read, they want to choose for themselves.Aliehttp://ephramyfan.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
