Normal Blog Service Is Resumed.

What a week!

The awesome of WriteOnCon over (*sniff*) it's time to get back to normal. So I've come home to my little corner of the blogosphere.

*blows the dust from my blog*

Hi to my new followers *waves* I'll be hoping over to say hi soon.

But before normal blogging is resumed I want to say a huge thank you to the awesome gals behind WriteOnCon. They have battled 403 errors, sleep deprivation (and a million other things) to bring us the first online conference.

Sorry, to bring 11,000 of us the first online conference!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

In other news, congrats to Matthew Rush for winning the query contest on WriteOnCon. I already congratulated him on Twitter, but it needed to be said again. Matt does such awesome things over on his blog so I love the fact he's collecting on the karma!

Plus, Matt, your new query rocked!

And finally...

Thanks to Candyland for the amazing I Heart Joy Like BR80 contest. Not only did Candace raise money for a good cause, but the prizes were epic.

I can't wait to wear my Team Candyland t-shirt when it arrives. No one else in my little corner of the UK will have one. :)

So what's new with you?

WriteOnCon!

The waiting is over.

WriteOnCon starts tomorrow!

*squee*

For anyone who doesn't know, WriteOnCon is a free online conference for with a focus on kid lit writers (but free, and useful, for any writer).

There is still time to sign up...and if you can't make a live event (or work/real life get in the way) then everything will be on the WriteOnCon site as transcripts.

Here's a sneak peak to some of the awesomeness during Tuesday:

Here's a link to the full schedule.

So I'll take this moment to apologise for my absence on the blogosphere for the next few days.

But you know where I'll be from the 10th-12th.

Hope to see you there. :)
