I love word play. Ever since I was a child, I've played games in my head with words. To this day, I rearrange the letters in words into groups of 3 letters that make words and then alphabetize them. I have no idea anymore how or why I started doing this, but it's a habit now. It makes it easy to count the letters in a word, by the way. Which of course is of very little use, unless you're playing Scrabble (another favorite word game). (more…)

Wow! What an experience it is to attend the RWA annual conference. It was wonderful to see DC again. The elegant city brings back so many fabulous memories. I dated my husband there, where he kissed me on the Capitol steps no less. How romantic is that!
