Have a few for me…

 

     There’s nothing like having your agent tell you, “have a few drinks for me at the conference.” 

     “No problem, I can do that.  I won’t be driving anywhere,” I said.  (If you must know, my normal drink of choice is coffee.  Nevertheless, this is a writers’ conference and my agent said I should have a few drinks.  I have permission.  Heck, I’m under orders.)

     However, when I’m knee walking back to my room I may regret my answer.  If later there are pictures circulated of me dancing on the tables, I may regret my answer.  I’ll also emphatically deny that those pictures are of me.

     Since several of us who are attending the conference have the same agent, maybe we can turn her request into a drinking game.  One for us, one for her, one for us, one for…you get the idea.  That way I won’t be the only one knee walking back to my room.

     I need to finish packing.  Where did I put that camera?

  1. And if you do dance on the table . . . well . . . heh, heh, heh.

  2. It occurs to me that letting your agent know all of you followed her instructions would be a loving thing to do – how about mailing her an envelope filled with empty Alka-Seltzer wrappers and all your autographs on bar napkins?

  3. Remember to pack the Motrin, Pepto and drink lots of water. Oh and have one for me too lol. I wish I had an agent to tell me something like that, heck I would just settle for an agent period at this point. I would so much rather have a life like you, doing what I love, writing and staying home. Have fun!!!!!

  4. It cannot be any more hectic than it is right now. Started school yesterday, working full time, single mom, school activities, tons of overtime in the summer, and attempting some kind of social life in between. I would love to be able to write from home and be there for Tooters more. I mean I do alot with her now but it would be nice not to have to take her to the office in the morning and to dispatch at night in the summer. It would be nice to be able to clean the house more than once or twice a week or get the laundry done as it gets dirty instead of trying to do 100 loads once a week.

    Wish wish wish wish wish

  5. Catch you? Well . . . uh . . . no.
    Join you? Uh . . . ditto.

  6. Join you? Well . . . uh . . . no.
    Catch you? Um . . . ditto.
    No, on second thought, I’d catch you. Yeah, I’d catch you, for sure.
