Congrats on your conference successes. I'm so in awe of your unplanned pitching story. I don't know if I would have had the guts. And hanging with Eloisa and Julia? How utterly fabulous.

I failed on one pitch and got a request with the other, so its all good.

It was cool to get to meet you! I can't wait to do it again!

Tessa, ummm what escalator??? I don't remember any escalator! :-)

Chris and Bev, I had such a great time hanging out with you. Can't wait for next year!

CM, a million hugs back at ya!

Lacey, Darcy, Jacq, Mavens rock! Thanks for your pitch advice and for allowing me the honor of hearing yours.

Gillian, it was wonderful to meet you. I'm just sorry we didn't have a chance to spend more time together. All my best to the rest of the Slaves.

Speaking of Slaves--Wahoo Pam! Congrats on your big WIN!!!! I'm thrilled for you!

Leigh, Christina, Lindsey and Terrio, you were definitely MISSED. Leigh, I'll never forget rehearsing our first pitches together at the RR conference. I hope we will all get a chance to spend time togther in SF.Can't wait to see pics of the new baby! Hurry up will ya?

Santa, I loved meeting you! Hope to see you around! Don't be a stranger!

BTW if anyone has a blog that I haven't listed please let me know so that I can link to your site.

Once again, it was such a pleasure getting to know everyone. I think we all have seen the power of supporting one another. I expect good things for all of you because you are all so deserving!

I'll be making my way around to all the blogs throughout the week. Can't wait to read your take on things.

Hey India! Nice digs you got here! Congrats on the requests you got and to get the classic elevator pitch, or rather off the elevator pitch, is just fabulous!!

It was great to meet you!

2007-07-17T12:43:00.000-07:00

Wow! India it sounds so exciting. I've been reading blogs and boards all over the place and it seems everyone not only had a fabulous time but the results were wonderful too!

I have been lucky enough to meet Eloisa and you got it exactly right. She just might be one of the kindest, most generous nevermind loveliest women I have ever met. Getting to take her to the tea and then getting to hang out with Julia is such a coup.

Can't wait to hear back that editors and agents are fighting for you. I do hope you'll have a book signing over the east coast way!

2007-07-17T11:44:00.000-07:00

You act surprised that you got a request! You shouldn't be you know, even though it is exciting all the same.

Way to go!

2007-07-17T08:10:00.000-07:00

India, you are the most bubbly and upbeat person, I swear! And you have a great pitch. No WONDER you got requests. (I, on the other hand, got requests because I chose to pitch editors/agents who were too nice to say "No." My story's good, but my pitch kinda sucked :->!)

Here's to an even better time next year. Because if you think we rocked the house when we were just meeting for the first time, imagine what it'll be like when we all know each other so well!

Wow- what great news! All of it! I am so excited f...

2007-07-17T07:26:00.000-07:00

Wow- what great news! All of it! I am so excited for you- so many requests! Woohoo! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time. I'm sorry to have missed it!

2007-07-16T21:49:00.000-07:00

Gosh I just love reading these blogs now that I've met you!! India, your energy comes across great via the Internet, but it's nothing compared to the real thing. I'm going to a JQ signing tomorrow night, so I'll ask about your picture!

Remember: HIGH CONCEPT, baby!! You so rock. :-)

2007-07-16T21:14:00.000-07:00

India-
It was so great to meet you! I passed along all your warm wishes to Pam.

Best of luck with those requests, can't wait to hear what comes of them!

2007-07-16T20:54:00.000-07:00

What an awesome conference we had! Really, there was magic in the air - or something. I miss you all already! (Although I don't miss the Dallas humidity.)

But what about the escalator story?
:)

2007-07-16T20:07:00.000-07:00

When I grow up I want to be just like India! What a great story and what a great time you had at Nationals. Lets hear it for the Hot Tamales! I am so thrilled and proud for you! Congrats on all of your requests and I have already started sending good thoughts to everyone who reads your work. The Slaves were represented at Nationals by the classy, brassy and brilliant Erin and Beth Ann (aka Gillian) and they had a ball, echoed India's assessment of the authors and said all the Avon FanLitters they met were wonderful!

Oh, India, that's just fabulous! I'm thrilled to h...

I love your stories but they're so much better in person! *pout*

2007-07-16T16:47:00.000-07:00

Yay, India, for having the stomach of steel, which I'm sure you needed to do what you did. I'm positive you're going to go far.

A million hugs!

2007-07-16T15:35:00.000-07:00

If I hadn't had you guys urging me on I wouldn't have pitched. I went prepared not to pitch. I pitched. It was not at all nerve wracking. Yay for us who didn't have appts and pitched and got a request. And of course those who did have an appt and got requests.

It's gonna take me a week to get around to everybo...

2007-07-16T15:19:00.000-07:00

It's gonna take me a week to get around to everybody and say hello and pout about goodbye. Amy, it was so very wonderful to meet you this weekend. I cannot wait to do it again (the meeting part -- the whole con experience was overwhelming; a year between is a Good Thing)

*big, big hugs*
