Just got home from the NJRW Conference and came with the drive to write...write....write!!!
Saturday was highlight with great speakers. I started the day by going to a special presentation by New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward. She had us in stitches as she told her stories and urged us all to write what's in our head. Let is all roll. If you haven't read her erotic paranormal romance series of vampire books called, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, you sure were going to make it a point to purchase and read the whole series.
Our breakfast speaker, New York Times bestselling author of historical regencies, Eloisa James shared her life's experiences, coming from a family of poets and how she wrote what was in her heart despite the fact that her mother didn't like romances.
By lunch, Keynote Speaker Lisa Scottoline entertained us with her family stories that she turned into New York Times bestselling novels. Her underlying message is to use every day experiences and turn them into fiction.
By the end of the night, we all met at the Conference After Party and danced the night away. I even got up, microphone in hand during the karaoke portion of the night and with members of the New York City Chapter, we serenaded everyone with New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.
It was a great weekend. Can't wait until next year!!!
