I'm off to the Dreamin' In Dallas Conference and I'm on a mission. I'm really looking forward to hearing Allison Brennan speak. I'm dying to know how a woman with five (5!) kids writes three best-selling novels a year, promotes, promotes, promotes, and still manages to look great all the time. How? How? How?

I feel like the orangutan in The Jungle Book who was demanding Mogli give him the secret of man's red fire. I want the secret! Of course I don't plan to hold Allison Brennan upside down and feed her bananas like the orangutan did to Mogli. It's unlikely I'll even speak to her, but I do plan to listen with orangutan-sized ears.

Anyway, I'd better go stock the cupboards around here before I leave so the family doesn't starve while I'm gone.

Something that's helping me write today: optimism and the song The Bare Necessities from the Jungle Book that seems to be stuck in my head.
