Absolutely brilliant Judi. Thanks so much for posting the videos. Sorry to miss out. I’m afraid James and I were quite tame by comparison in Dublin. Though there was some fine Guinness enjoyed that eve.

Judi,

Just reading and seeing all the San Fransisco happenings for the first time since regaining my internet connection. What a hoot! Thanks for sharing it all, especially the Wombathon pics and video. And congrats, again, on getting that well-earned, long-overdue “published author” ribbon. May many a reader carry IOHH (and sequels) to the cash register.

[...] The alcohol flowed freely (thank you, John!) and things got silly very fast. To see HOW silly, go here to Judi’s webpage and blog for her impressions of the evening and incriminating video [...]

I regret not having been able to make it so that I could have saluted you in person for your wonderful success. (Sheesh, what a terrible sentence. I hope no agents or editors are watching!!). Anyway, I’m sure the crew that was there did the honors. You are our inspiration and you give us all hope and happiness. On to further success in the future. Here’s to you, Lady Judith.

Hi Judi,

Wonderful set of photos and the videos were something else. It’s a great group of friends and so much talent besides. Woo hoo!

What a great photo and video portrayal. It does give the flavor of the evening.

I think it should be pointed out (if only for our relatives) that a surprising amount of writing talk, both craft and business, was covered during the get together.

I had an excellent time with an excellent group of writers and friends.

Judi, the RWA conference sounds fun and interesting. Good luck with it and with your books. Have several standing purchase orders ready for publication.

Yep, I think what Judi says is true. As a group we aren’t people whose online personaes are wildly divergent from our off-line selves. I know a lot of people use the internet to be someone other than who they are in “real life.” I think we tend to use it to express ourselves more directly.

Hey everyone! Yes, it was a blast and the reason it seemed like we’ve known each other for years is because we HAVE known each other for a year and a half. I don’t know if it’s b/c we’re writers, but what you see on the Wombat threads is who we are. All we’re missing on the threads is the 3-D aspect.

And I’m holding all those DC-promisers to their word!!!

We created our own little community of people who write. We struggle with the same issues (oh, the pain of the blank screen or lazy words or comma splices), celebrate the joy of other’s success and share a love of the written word. We simply skipped all the uncomfortable posturing and worry about being misinterpreted. As Lisa said, it’s as if we’ve known each other all of our lives. To be a part of this and to be a part of the greater success several of us will achieve over the next five or ten years… well, it’s an honor and a pleasure.
