[Previous entry: "Happy Birthday to Me"] [Next entry: "Contacts"] 10/04/2005: "Conference and Rafting"
Last week was a whirlwind. My editor came in early before the Moonlight and Magnolias conference and four of us (my editor and two other writers) went white water rafting one day. The Chattooga River is a wild and scenic river which means nothing can be built within a quarter of a mile of it. It's beautiful and pristine with towering evergreens flanking the river. It's not hard to imagine that it looked very close to the same several hundred years ago when the native Americans were following the same route in canoes. They filmed the movie Deliverance on this river. Anyway, it was an incredibly beautiful day and the rafting was great. We were the only group on the river. Our guide was a retired professor of historical architecture, a California transplant. Gorgeous weather, beautiful river, good friends, a few exhilirating rapids, interesting conversation--all told, a spectacular day. Replies: 2 Comments on Tuesday, October 4th, Barbara said

Thanks, Barbara. It was fun. I think we all spend so much time alone in front of a computer screen that we need the human contact at these conferences. |

What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
