I get by with a little help from my friends...

I don't have much book talk this week because I just got back from the New England RWA chapter (my home chapter) Let Your Imagination Take Flight Conference this past weekend. My agent, Deidre Knight, my critique partner, Diana Peterfreund, and I gave a presentation on Networking 101 that was a lot of fun.

Here we are presenting:



And here I am with my Knight Agency Sistahs who were at the conference, from left to right, Diana Peterfreund, me, Janet Louise Campbell, Kwana Minatee-Jackson, Maureen McGowan, Deidre Knight, Cathy Chant, Jessica Andersen:



Then, there was a costume party to "Bring Fiction to Life." A lot of people came as their favorite character or as a character they'd written. Since my books aren't out yet, it didn't make much sense to go as my sorority sisters, so I went as an admired writer-idol...Jaqueline Susanne.

That's me on the left with Elizabeth Mahon (as Lady McBeth), Kwana Minatee-Jackson and our very busy conference chair, Pam Claughton:



So, for those of you who are writers and you go to a conference, what's the best thing you bring out of the weekend? What is it that inspires you to get home and write your heart out?
