I can feel the BEA conference bustle all the way here in California...Don't worry, I'm not boasting any clairvoyant powers--it's the silence, silly. Editors and writers alike that I would normally be in correspondence with are off shmoozing. I wish I had had the foresight to go. Maybe next year when I have actual books I can stand behind with a cheesy smile on my face I shall do just that.

Sure is quiet.
