I will absolutely be checking back in closer to next February (although will likely be checking Booksquare more regularly before then just for enjoyment) and although I admit I have a soft spot for begging in some contexts, I know you must have been teasing me and that you’re well aware of how psyched I’ll be to get to talk about my book and writing on Booksquare in the not too distant future.

I’ll see your kind words and raise you a gushing response. BAM

No burning ears. I am as psychic as a stone. Although my husband and I once had the exact same dream about Julie Andrews, and we were 400 miles apart at the time.

I can’t remember — Did I put the word “theme” in there? If so, I should expect to be firebombed.

Bella and Joan — I had a great time and came home really energized! I had no idea what to expect from a marketing workshop (okay, some idea!) and left wondering why more authors aren’t begging for workshops in their areas.

I’m very intrigued about Joan’s book; I’m hoping it’s a great success, and I’m going to beg her to check in closer to release time to talk about the writing.

Karen — lunch is good. Were your ears burning last night? A certain instructor was reading aloud from the UCLA course catalog!

Don’t believe her, folks. Ms Booksquare didn’t talk too long or too fast. She was wonderful–organized, focused and to the point. And very snazzily shod.

You could not have talked too much for my taste – I found all the info about blogging to be personally invaluable, and although I dread making my first ever blog comment sound too ass-kissy, I could not have been more charmed by you, personally. I have missed the community of unusually smart, funny, articulate computer geeks I semi-infiltrated in Santa Cruz about 12 or so years ago. And by “geeks”, I mean the people who threw the most enjoyable parties and made online chat rooms interesting places to visit. Hearing you on Saturday and now checking out booksquare.com, I’m thinking that all the cool geeks must have turned into bloggers.

Looking forward to possible re-infiltration,
Joan

Well, this is cagey. “P’s” and “B’s”? We are going to have to lunch …
