I looked at the calendar this weekend and realized that the RWA National Conference is approaching much faster than ever before. I'm excited and nervous and basically wondering what the heck I'm going to wear. ;)

Which reminds me, thank you to all who are voting for me, I truly appreciate it! Please help me win clothes in time for Nationals by voting every day until June 30:

Okay, where was I? Oh yes, Nora Robert's den.

You know how I can't resist celebrating life with a song parody or two, so here's my take on the Bare Naked Ladies' Brian Wilson, titled Nora Roberts.

Flew to San Fran in the rain ten-thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out RWA Nationals
Call it proactive, call it attractive, call it hopeful
but I booked early and I paid full pop
Cause right now I am

Holding a pen, in Nora Robert’s den
Right now I’m holding a pen in Nora Robert’s den

Well I’m sitting here, waiting for the muse to come
And I’m thinking about, what to write about
Just listening and re-listening, to workshop tapes
And I’m wondering if Nora’s brought security out
Because I am

Holding a pen, in Nora Robert’s den
Right now I’m holding a pen in Nora Robert’s den

And if they wanna find me I’ll be behind the bookshelf
Holding releases from two thousand one-un-un
If this shelf tips over I’ll be crushed by nine titles, whoa oh-oh-oh
Talk about fun, fun, fun!

Holding a pen, in Nora Robert’s den
Right now I’m holding a pen in Nora Robert’s den

I had a dream that I wrote three hundred books
And though I was prolific
Agents wouldn’t give me a second look
Agents wouldn’t give me a second look, uh-oh
Somebody help me, give me a second look
Somebody help me, give me a second look
Somebody help me because I am

Holding a pen, in Nora Robert’s den
Right now I’m holding a pen in Nora Robert’s den

Flew to San Fran in the rain ten thirty on a Tuesday night
Just to check out RWA Nationals
Call is proactive, call it attractive, call it hopeful
but I booked early and I paid full pop

And here's the original if you need to get the song in your head:
