Hey there!
Did you know that for the first time EVER, I'm going to a
romance writer’s convention, specifically RT Con? Yup, I really am, and I’m crazy-excited about
it *bounces* I’m so looking forward to
learning more about the business of writing, meeting the friends I’ve made
online, and gabbing with fellow readers about the latest book trends that have
made us swoon. Basically, I’m going to
talk myself out of a voice by the time RT Con is over, heh.
There’s just one problem. I don’t know what I’m doing, at least when it comes to the preparations
necessary for RT. I’ve put myself in for
the ebook signing on Thursday, May 2nd, 2013, but seriously, I don’t
know how that works. So I’m mainly going
to be playing around with lots of other readers and writers with games and
giveaways. Basically, it’ll be
mayhem. Because mayhem is the one thing
I KNOW I can pull off. I could do it
professionally. :D
I’m also trying to figure out my agenda—what I
reaaaallllllly want to see and do while I’m at convention. There are so many topics I NEED TO KNOW. Like “Unlocking the Secrets of
Self-Publishing” and “Book Promotion 101” and “The Victorian Women’s Clothing
from the Inside Out”, and a billion other topics. How am I supposed to choose??? I need Hermione’s Time-Turner in order to see
everything I want. :/
Also, I’d like to know what sort of swag people
enjoy the most when they go to these cons.
I’ve got to watch my budget; the last thing I want to do is blow money
on something no one will be interested in picking up. So far, I’m planning on… chocolate. That’s pretty much it. Any other suggestions would be OUTSTANDING.
Oh, we're going to have so much fun. Really, that's all you need to know. lol!
ReplyDeleteFun is the one thing I know I can do! :D :D
DeleteThe first thing you need to know is rest up before hand. I like to go over the schedule before I even go to get a idea what I want to do. Things change, but at least you're not lost. The signing is easy. Show up, and they tell you where to sit. :)It's a great time!
ReplyDelete*clings to Ann* Yay, someone who knows the ropes! Resting beforehand sounds like a GREAT plan, and I'll try not to sweat the signing. :) I can't wait!
DeleteAre you going, by any chance?
Oh, have a fabulous time, Stacy!! I wouldn't even know where to start, but I'm sending karma your way.... not that you'll need it. You'll charm them, for sure. And failing that, you can use whips. *nods*
ReplyDeleteDon't tempt me!

*wonders if it'll pass airport security*
:D
