It was very generous of you all to do that for us. :)<BR/><BR/>I personally don't mind it when I come across semicolons in a book - but the editor who has been assigned to me has an aversion to them. Tee-hee! It’s funny how things turn up in books like Sherrilyn Kneyon's “Acheron” that are not allowed in my manuscript . . . Like semicolons, just to mention one.<BR/><BR/>Oh well, onward and upward – <BR/>:)<BR/>G.Genella deGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129942813842907408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-24733915029039307312008-08-08T17:39:00.000-05:002008-08-08T17:39:00.000-05:00Sorry about the experience at P.I.

I saw her again at P.I., but when I tried saying hello she very quickly brushed me off. Maybe she thought I was conference-stalking her, but that wasn't the case. Or maybe she's shy. Or didn't recognize me. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, because I did like during our conversation the day before and her clients seem to love her. But it did feel a little awkward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-58540386404359807052008-08-07T20:29:00.000-05:002008-08-07T20:29:00.000-05:00Ian, I've spoken at the Pikes Peak conference.

In 2010 (I look to the future) RWA is in Nashville, and if I can't come next year, at LEAST I can come to the one that's local to me!<BR/><BR/>Jody W.Jody W. and Meankittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13733607365443126784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-31622738554172722692008-08-07T07:20:00.000-05:002008-08-07T07:20:00.000-05:00Boo for nasty writers - I met a few of them at Pik...Boo for nasty writers - I met a few of them at Pikes Peak Writers' Conferences (hey, do you all ever come to that one?).<BR/><BR/>As far as semicolons go ... I don't think they should exist in dialogue. At all. But I have no problem using them in narrative; I like them. <BR/><BR/>They also make good winks. ;)Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497045412007902460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-30065660790414785422008-08-07T06:58:00.000-05:002008-08-07T06:58:00.000-05:00I'm so sorry to hear about your experience at the ...I'm so sorry to hear about your experience at the PI party. Too bad I wasn't there (although I'd have probably left those dead fish, too) -- one of my favorite things about these conferences is walking up to total strangers and making conversation. <BR/><BR/>One day, we'll be in the same place at the same time and we'll make up for that group.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778191943289129869noreply@blogger.com
