Blogs

Last spring, the wonderful Rose Valenta published a blog post that made me exceptionally proud and, truth be told, blush a little. Here's a bit of what she wrote.

Last year at this time, I was out in Dayton, Ohio, attending EBWW 2010 with about 350 other writer humorists at the University of Dayton. We left there with a mascot (E.B. Heron, named after E.B. White); many new friends; and Facebook/Twitter accounts to look up, join, or send friend requests. We also left there with a feeling of kick-ass enthusiasm, we were among the "We can do this!" success group. My tape recorder, business card slots, and notebook were all full. I was armed and dangerous with perceived leverage and a little chutzpah. I miss my friends there now, and can't wait for EBWW 2012.

...

We are competitive, keeping everyone in the loop for things like interviews, new book releases, awards, contests, and book launches. You could also say it is a training ground for learning great communication skills. We also post failed attempts, but we downplay those. I believe we've finally made it into the A Zone.

Many of us have come a long way in just the last 12 months.

I'm looking forward to seeing her and the entire E.B. Heron crew again at the 2012 Bombeck Workshop.
