Odd, yes. BUT I totally got lost in my need to work on this thing for the Writers Conference.
what are you talking about, amanda?
Well let me tell ya.
The head of the Whidbey Island Writers Conference this year asked me if I wanted to volunteer to help out with the conference. Now, she says help out.. I think set up chairs... direct and lead to various classes.
This is not the case. We're having agents/editors coming for people to sign up to pitch there ideas or have an actual agent/editor take a look at their manuscript and see what they think. Now what exactly does this have to do with me? Well, I'm in charge of scheduling the contestants for The Price is Right.. ha.
OR arranging for when people get to have their chance with the agents/editors. It makes me feel pretty important.
So at 1:48 in the morning, I'm arranging and rearranging... and trying to figure out excel enough to work this out... Because in Amanda-land... I'd just do this all on PAPER! But that wouldn't look at ALL professional now, would it. NO!
But that doesn't matter, really.. Do you know what DOES matter?? Is that some of these people are over YA/Childrens Lit. A few are former librarians. These are book people. Writing people.. aka MY people.. in the future.. I'm so stoked about the opportunity to be apart of this and to meet these people. It should be a great opportunity.

In other news.. We've had crazy snow here. Half the world has shut down on account of it. I've already missed 3 days of work. (because work shut down due to snow) It's ridiculous. And for whatever reason.. I want a cupcake. Not to mention that I can't go anywhere. I live on a hill, said hill is covered in ice.. Amanda (Arizona Driver)+ snowy/icy roads= BAD PLAN! So I opt to not do it.
(good choice, amanda.. if all else fails, drive slow.)
yea yea yea. i know..
But now it's late and we must go to bed.
