Day three of the conference is coming to a close and I am in nirvana. The intensity is so strong here. Just walking thru the lobby radiates the forces of a combined effort by almost every person I can see to walk, eat, talk, and be romance. Every nook and cranny, every seat and square tile on the floor is owned by a past, present or future romance talent. I have never ridden on the New York Subway but this is the rush and crush of bodies I picture passing through the turnstiles every day. What makes this a happy place is all this energy is positive. All the attendees, volunteers, speakers, and icons are friendly and more than willing to speak to you, help you and guide you to your own personal pinnacle of writer satisfaction. My time is almost up here tonight and I am missing a workshop to play hooky to come and write and post this but the need was there and I decided to follow. My slow crawly path to writing has taken another swift kick to the pants. I'm looking forward to making that energy last.
On our first night here I tagged along to the Golden Heart nominees meet and great dinner. Here are a few pics of the wonderfully large group.
