Now that you have gotten your taxes out of the way, what to do now?
Now, you sign up for those fall conferences to make sure that you get on panels or are able to speak or moderate.
Why now?
When you sign up early, you are almost guaranteed a spot on a panel, to be a moderator and may even be asked to give a keynote speech.
What could be better than being a speaker and being able to sell your novel or your works while doing something that you didn't think you could do.
I'm just getting back into the swing of things but my conference schedule includes the Creatures, Crimes and Creativity conference in Columbia, Maryland.
If you need to see what I am talking about; please follow this link. #MDC3Con is the hashtag that paid registrations can use to be entered in a chance to win a fabulous prize. They also have the opportunity for authors to raise money for the literacy program in Howard County Md.
How? By asking authors to put together a 'reader basket" that all attendees can buy tickets for and win some great prizes.
Yes, we do more than just write; we also give back to our community.
Are you signed up yet? Gasp, you're not? Well it's not to late.
Meet me there and I promise we can share a drink, some stories and you will get a look at my newest novel.

FURLOUGH FOOLISHNESS
I wasn't going to discuss it here but I can't keep my fingers from typing about it. At the risk of losing some of you as my followers, I write this blog. Angry and disgusted by what is going on right now.
The president wants five billion dollars to build a wall so that "terrorists'' don't come into America. That's not the only reason. He also wants the wall to "help the women and children that are dying on their way over here." But that isn't the only reason. He also wants it to stop illegal activity from crossing the borders.
He wants the wall because that is what he wants. Terrorists live here already. They aren't coming from Mexico; they are flying over here. The women and children that he speaks of; are already here; being exploited. However, we do need more secure borders but at the risk of sounding like I'm taking his side....BECAUSE I AM NOT...what we need is to come to some sort of resolution so that the millions of people that are already here, don't starve to death or worse, start committing crimes to just put food on their tables because he is withholding their money.
See, he wants to build a wall to stop illegal activity. What about the illegal activities that happen every day, done by AMERICANS?
What about the exploitation of women and children everyday, by AMERICANS? What about the terrorists who are living here, every day?
What about those people?
We teach our children not to bully people and we teach our children to stand up against bullies.
What do you do when the bully RUNS the country? What do you do when a bully is taking your job and holding it just out of reach? What do you do when the bully lives in the White House?
You suffer the Furlough Foolishness!
People are "hoping" that they can pay their bills this month and next month". People are hoping that they get back to work soon. People are hoping that they don't have to start selling off things just to put food on the table.
What about those people Mr. President? Oh, but no matter because you are already rich and could care less that the 'average' American doesn't have your money.
The Furlough Foolishness needs to end and maybe instead of acting like a 3 year old...wait...make that a 5 year old bully on the playground. Maybe you could use your big words and speak like a real adult and stop throwing tantrums to get what you want. You say that the 800 thousand people stand with you. Well how many have you asked?
Because every one of the people I see on FB, Instagram, Twitter and other social media outlets; want to go to work and NEED their money.
So, I suggest that instead of posting on FB, Instagram, Twitter and other social media outlets that the Furloughed employees get out there and MARCH ON WASHINGTON.
Show him just how many don't support this Furlough Foolishness . Maybe then he will see how many really stand with him.
