Sounds like you got a ton of stuff accomplished. I joined my local RWA chapter back in May and then the national chapter by the end of June. It does provide some great resources and ecourses but there are many grumblings after this conference on some rule changes. I'm afraid it's not always the happy-go-lucky place it seems to be from the outside.<br/><br/>I too want to get to San Fran but I can't make any guarantees this far in advance. But getting to meet all the online crowd would be worth the money I'm thinking. WTG, Maggs! Sounds like you got a ton of stuff accomplished.

I wanna attend at least one RWA in my lifetime and I'm not writing anything at the moment, haha. At least you’ve written & currently writing something Maggie.

There's no local chapter anywhere near me (okay, LA, but that's a 2-2.5 hour drive!). Back in 1998, we had a local chapter but it folded (not really sure why?- we had a pretty active membership)<br/><br/>I enjoy the RWRs and I joined the online Passionate Ink chapter (love it!)<br/><br/>Other than that...it's a membership to list on my query letters. Shows I'm "serious" about my writing, I gues... I joined RWA back in March. There’s no local chapter anywhere near me (okay, LA, but that’s a 2-2.5 hour drive!).

The accident was one of those Completely Freak Things. Actually, we were going so slowly that the only thing damaged on our car was the thin film of dust on the bumper. The delivery van had a couple scratches in his dust--not even a dent, really--but the driver/delivery guy insisted on doing all the formalities in a very pedantic (ok, and insulting) way.

But please don't be so hard on yourself for not joining RWA earlier. The last I heard, neither Jane Austen nor any Bronte was ever a member! Brava, Maggie!
