Ta-da!

Fio's back from the conference triumphant!

Yes, she placed third in her category on something she hasn't finished writing yet, and she had requests from an editor and an agent for partials of two of her finished manuscripts.

Plus, she had a great time! She rode to the conference with friend LuAnn, who also also triumphed at the conference by winning THREE raffle baskets in a row (graciously declining the third one)and placing fourth in her category.

In addition, the conference was small enough that Fio kept running into the same people again and again and had a great time getting to know them. Now she has to go through all her conference hand-outs and try to figure out what the heck their names were.

Fiorella thanks you for all your positive thoughts in her direction.
