#RWA13 Atlanta Blues

I'm home sick today, and also feeling very homesick for the big RWA gathering in Atlanta that I'm *SOB!* missing this year. Hundreds of writers are descending on Atlanta, Georgia over the next 36 hours, including coblogger Donna S. Frelick.

So, with my sad pouty face, I'm listening in on the Twitter conversations from lucky attendees.

They're going something like this...

Just ironed the shirt I'm wearing at #RWA13 tomorrow. Yes, he cooks, he cleans, he irons, all mediocre-ly!

What I forgot for #rwa13: acne meds for that moment when I see a ton of cool women and momentarily turn into an insecure high schooler.

Calm befor the tsunami. Hotel still quiet. Elevators empty. #RWA13 pic.twitter.com/RBLTntGNHF

Reading through #RWA13 tweets makes me glad I don't have to pack as much as the majority of attendees. But I still hate packing!

Outlook *reminded* me that my vacation starts in 16 hrs. Good thing! I might have forgotten! (not). #RWA13

My suitcase for #rwa13 is insanely big. Guess I'll just have to stuff it with more clothes.

If you're a #first-timer at #rwa13, you only need to ask a stranger 1 question to make a friend: "What do you write?" Also "Nice shoes."

You guys. Disaster has happened. I accidentally left my K*ndle on my kitchen table. We're in crisis mode. #RWA13

What will I do to get to #RWA13? Well, first I'm going to drive my car on a boat. You know, how you do.

On board the last leg to #RWA13 & there is a very important author sitting the seat in front of me. Maybe her genius will be catching. ;)

@RachaelJohns I've decided there's only one cure for #RWA13 Atlanta Blues. I'm making plans right now for #RWA14 San Antonio.
