I totally love the idea that there is something magical under the kitchen sink. Wardrobes are overrated. There could be a whole world behind the kitchen sink and no-one could've found it!

I loved the advice you and all the other writers had, definitely made me (and I'm sure all the other hopeful writers in the room) as though they weren't alone. So inspiring. Thanks for being your fabulous self!<br /><br /> I have to admit, when you briefly mentioned the interview on Saturday I leaned to my friend and said: 'I read that this morning'. And I 100% agree with you about taking the opportunity to snog Mr Darcy - YES please.AmieSalmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902800785882682491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4098049071459822748.post-33849786740303244222012-08-07T23:21:37.867-07:002012-08-07T23:21:37.867-07:00Emma: It's OK when I can sort of skip up and s...Emma: It's OK when I can sort of skip up and slide my way in, but ladened down with a huge suitcase, a shoulderbag and a bookbag, I knew I was going to do damage to people and I froze.<br /><br />Amy: Whooo! It was BRILLIANT to meet you too (although I nearly got you mixed up with the OTHER Dear Reader with the same name, only she spells hers Amie so I figured it out just in time). I just wish that we'd all had more time to hang out and chatter. Maybe next time!<br /><br />Becky: Fingers crossed! Consensus seems to be that it went really well, so maybe I'll get invited back, and maybe you'll be able to manage it. Thanks for Tweeting :)<br /><br />Isabel: Thanks, hun. And OMG probably not as excited as me, wheeee! BTW, did u get a copy of FrostFire yet? If/when u do, just flick to the acknowledgements at the back first.<br /><br />Sarah: Right?! I was really sad about that too - next time, definitely, you must be there! And I actually told everyone which fairytale at the event, so I might as well tell you now: it's Beauty and the Beast, and it's going to be set in The Moonlit Lands from Shadows on the Moon.

So when I'm let lose you get months worth of compressed, condensed crazy, exploding all at once.
