I can't believe I missed that.<br /><br />I know what you mean about Janet Evanovich. I loved that moment, too. I am, however, still a little disturbed about my creative jelly squirting out the romance writer hole of my doughnut self.<br /><br />Also . . . did I miss a chance to meet Stephanie?

Lucky you! Thanks for posting this. I think when we are unpubbed or at the beginning of our pubbed career we look at those who have "made it" and put them up on a pedastel. But they were us once, and thank goodness they remember how it was and are happy to share their stories. I wonder if many other industries have the strong connection for all people on all the rungs of the ladder. We are in a great industry, and it's nice to be reminded about the human side every now and again. Thanks.<br />PS - You weren't pitching an erotica MS at the time of said bra flashing, were you?Alli Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00363202163419352155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-1611181258435617852009-07-22T09:00:33.270-04:002009-07-22T09:00:33.270-04:00I still can't believe I made her cry... but wh...I still can't believe I made her cry... but what was better was her CP basically telling her she was too emotional and to suck it up.<br /><br />Loved it.<br /><br />StephStephanie Doylenoreply@blogger.com
