Last weekend I flew to Ohio for a writers' conference. The highlight for me was a workshop with Jennifer Crusie, author of Welcome To Temptation. In person, Crusie is as snarky, intelligent, and widely read as her books would make you think.

I learned a lot; I was reminded of things I'd already forgotten. I'll try to do a list later, after it's all had time to jell. But I felt fed, spiritually, for the first time in a long time.
