1. A Nora Roberts bobblehead doll



2. A contract with my pal Blunder.

4. A puppy.



5. A slot on the NYTimes Best Seller List.



6. A better singing voice



7. Lunch in NYC with my favorite group of writer pals.



8. A contract with Rose Hilliard. Or Laura Cifelli. Or Hilary SARES, for God's sake. sobbing



9. Visits from Aya and Naomi at Thanksgiving again. And anyone else who wants to come, LR.



10. My kids to stop fighting with me and each other about computer time.



11. More interesting ideas for this list.



12. A piece of really good chocolate cake, RIGHT NOW. THIS MOMENT. With fudge frosting.



13. A good ending for this damn story I'm writing. Ugh.

    Those bobbleheads are going to sell out in no time.

    Then you'll see the occasional one on ebay for $400.

    I could use number 11 too.

    And 12. And 13.

    I think Darla's right about the bobblehead though.

    Maybe you can make your own bobbleheads on CafePress?

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops.

The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.
