I'm crying into my Ice Tea by Leann Harris

Yesterday, Marta blogged about her first trip to RWA. Well, she's in New York this week while I'm at home this summer. When my kids were growing up, I had the opportunity to stay at home but after working as a deaf-ed teacher, being a full-time mom was a rough transition. That's when I started writing and I went to RWA every summer, which was camp for mom. I learned and made so many friends. I went to RWA last summer in San Antonio, and saw so many friends. RWA is an organization that teaches writers how to improve their skills, get published, meet editors and agents, and gives you the ability to met other writers who know what you're going through. You don't feel like such a weird person with all those people running around your head. Good luck, friends and have fun.
This a a picture at my first signings at RWA.

Hi Leann, How many have you gone to over the years? Thank you for all your hard work that you put into your books! Jenny

Probably 20 or 25. There were several years that I never missed a year.

I'm home, too. It was the right choice to skip this year, but all those fun FB photos are making me reach for the nearest chocolate!
