Day 1

Sorry for the delay in posting: the internet is at best spotty at the WDW Beach Resort. I've called support 4 times already! But here goes for my first day:

For a while it looked like I might not make it to Orlando. The night before I left, I played tennis with my husband (DH); it was our first official match playing together. We won - big time. But during the night, DH started to get real sick. He had been procrastinating seeing the doctor for a cough and it finally caught up with him: I had to bring him to the hospital in the morning, after a no-sleep night.

He's fine. He has bronco-pneumonia and now he has to take a bunch of meds. Talk about bad timing.

But I made it to my flight in time and though we waited 75 minutes a yard away from the gate in Orlando due to lightning (with many children on board 'cause let's not forget this is Walt Disney World, twas no fun) I finally reached my hotel at 6 pm. The Literacy Signing was almost over when I got there, after registering.

The writers were still there, signing away. Many known faces and many new ones, too.

I bought Kelley Armstrong's latest, Waking the Witch. I saw our own Angela Knight and her handsome husband. I also met with Linda Gerber, who will be CRW's October presenter of the Online workshop. And CRW's Amy Clipston.
