I volunteer with my local chapter and it's been one of the most fulfilling aspects of being a 'writer' I've come across. Time consuming - yes, hard word - absolutely, but what a ride :DWylie Kinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09271148590574475682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-55395220803978660312007-11-25T02:46:00.000-05:002007-11-25T02:46:00.000-05:00Wow Trish - you sound like an expert juggler. I'm ...Wow Trish - you sound like an expert juggler. I'm on the RWAust exec and I know how much it can demand of your precious writing time. And we only have 600 members.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the contest. Have clicked already.<BR/><BR/>Loved what you said about the title givng birth to the story. I find it really hard to start writing a story unless I have a title. I DO start but I never feel like I'm in the groove until its properly titled.<BR/>I also often have a title come to me and write it down for later hoping a plot will form around it.<BR/><BR/>Eric Bana - hmmm, very good choice. I can't believe he's this big Hollywood sex god/star now. For so many years on Oz TV he was this ocker Aussie comedian. But ooh la la.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the info on the nationals hotel. It's made me even more excited to go especially knowing the kids are going to be blown away by the venue(as mummy will be paying them NO attention for 4 days!!)<BR/><BR/>AmyAmy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-15058367398812670342007-11-25T01:15:00.000-05:002007-11-25T01:15:00.000-05:00LOL, Keira.

I love to hear about the Banditas and their writing styles, schedules and the like.<BR/><BR/>Trish, you're amazing, having no many irons in the fire. I'm reading Stephanie Meyer's second book in the Edward/Bella vampire series and I love it.

You all continue to crack me up with the stamp discussion. :)<BR/><BR/>Sorry I'm so late in commenting today. I've been in catch-up mode after being away from home for a week and a half. Had to go to the RWA board meeting, and being a non-flyer I took Amtrak. Takes a wee bit longer, but the benefit is that I got a lot of writing done on the train. :) As a side note to any of you going to the RWA National Conference next summer -- the location is fabulous! There are tons of restaurants very close by, and there is a humongous mall directly across the street. It even has a grocery store inside and a fabulous food court. I can't wait to go back when I actually have some time to do touristy things. I didn't this time, unfortunately. The only time I got out of the hotel was to go eat meals.Trish Milburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812010789617982102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-13626808628206851202007-11-24T19:57:00.000-05:002007-11-24T19:57:00.000-05:00Kim, thanks for bringing us such a great interview...Kim, thanks for bringing us such a great interview with Trish. I was so interested to hear about your writing process, Trish, because I rarely step out of the historical genre myself.<BR/><BR/>I've loved what I've seen of OUT OF SIGHT so far.

And congrats to Trish for the many sales, as well as making the second round of the ATIV contest.<BR/><BR/>It's always the ones who stick out the race who eventually finish. Writers are sort of like marathon racers in that one foot in front of the other, or one word at a time, we achieve our own goals. Finish the chapter, finish the manuscript. Final in a contest, win a contest. Get a request for a full submission, get "the call". <BR/><BR/>Only those who quit are the true losers in the race.<BR/><BR/>Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Trish and am off to vote!Suzanne Ferrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761579189372602292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-87696395339652959562007-11-24T09:45:00.000-05:002007-11-24T09:45:00.000-05:00Ditto what rid said!
