See this? The sun glowing in a warm climate? Right now, this is a phenomenon that has been very rare for me lately.
Unless you’ve been under a rock, you may have heard the South has endured one of the WORST winter storms in over a decade. Let me tell you, being stuck in the house for almost 5 days is not as glamorous as it sounds.
Today, it’s slightly better. The airport hasn’t canceled my flight and it seems going to Florida — the only state that does not have snow on the ground — should be a go.
I’m still not sure if I will make it to the airport or not. I will give it a try. The ice is melting and if I drive very *carefully* I should make my destination.
But the FL SCBWI Regional Conference is going to be fabulous. You can just see by the conference faculty that it will be chock full of awesome.
The theme this year is “The Wizarding World of Writing” and there is even going to be a Dragon’s Slayer Ball on Saturday night where attendees can dress as their favorite fantasy character (I won’t be dressing up — after enduring the snow/ice apocalypse I will just be glad to be there, ha).
Worse case, I will fly in on Friday and miss the Novel Intensive portion of the conference but I do hope that I will be able to share some writing gems with you on Tuesday. :)
I’ll be sure to update my Twitter feed and let everyone know if/when I make it to the airport and fly out safely to Miami.
I’ll be there too, Karen! Here’s hoping you make it out in time for the novel intensive. Should be very educational.
I wish I was going too! This does look like a fabulous conference! I had my eye on it but just wasn’t able to make it this year. Fly safe, have fun, and make lot’s of great connections! I can hardly wait to hear all about it.
Ladies I have made it to the airport! Yay! Can’t wait to meet you this weekend Meredith.
@Heather: I’ll be sure to share all the gems on Tuesday!
I hope you’ll have a wonderful time at the conference!
Can’t wait to hear about it! Enjoy the warm weather!
It’s so hard for places that don’t normally get snow to cope with it when it comes in big quantities. I hope you get to Florida today! Have lots of fun!!!
I love getting your updates on twitter! Enjoy the beautiful weather.
I wasn’t able to make it to this conference–even though I live in NW Florida. Ha. So I can’t wait to hear what you learned.
It was so nice to see you again. :)
