No more product entry updates. They're getting boring, and I've run out of anything funny to say. Anyway, I spent last week far more focused on preparing for the writers' conference, which was all kinds of wonderful and amazing, with small pockets of hippy-dippy-oh-hell-what-have-I-gotten-myself-into.

I have a million new ideas, and I'll never find the time to write them all. I met some really nice people, and I got a review copy of a new book, so I need to pitch it to the guy at the Oregonian and hope he wants a review, or else I'll feel guilty. But I'll still read the free book...

I went to a bunch of great workshops, including one by Skye Moody, who is also teaching a class at Hugo House that I really want to take. I learned stuff, and was reminded of stuff I'd forgotten, and was given names for things I'd internalized a very long time ago. So, yay!

And last night I ate Indian food until I got all sleepy and had to waddle back to the car, and then went to the Joint with Travis and Cat and Annie. And lots of friends were there, and I discussed writing with T-Cloud and made puppy eyes at Matt, and then the people with the chihuahua puppy showed up, and that's just about the cutest durn thing ever, except for my still-kinda-new nephew, Ami, new pictures of whom will be posted soon.
