LOL! I really did get inspired at Nationals but I also got exhausted. I'm just now starting to feel normal again. I made myself promise that I'd sit down every night (other than Tuesday when I have class) and write something. Whether it's a paragraph, a page, or a chapter, I'm going to write something!<BR/><BR/>Huzzah for DC!Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7895870084823738964.post-13490796758201937372008-08-09T11:00:00.000-05:002008-08-09T11:00:00.000-05:00Louisa, could you hear us all cheering from across...Louisa, could you hear us all cheering from across the country?

And now you can look forward to listening to the conference workshops on tape.<BR/><BR/>I came home from San Francisco feeling very inspired.
