Makes me proud to be a California girl, even though I'm long distance now. :) (Well, so long as you ignore those couple of paragraphs towards the end.)
Although we still have to wait to see if the ruling makes it past November...
I survived the writers' conference without being eaten by mountain lions or collapsing from exhaustion. :) It was a great experience, and I'm so excited to do some more writing. And I'm so proud of myself for going to the conference AND reading some of my stuff while I was there. Yay!
