Well, if this doesn't just take the giddy biscuit!

Manic Mother
What ho, my friends! My esteemed sister the Anne-girl has gone against Jeeves' better judgment and has worn a white evening jacket every night this week decided to do a simply splendiferous and may I say inspired thingamajigger.

I've always wanted to go to one of those big writers' conferences-- well, okay, ever since Anne-girl told me of their existence, which was about three months ago.  Relative terms, people, relative terms. But such a thing sounded positively top-notch, and I don't mind saying that I was quite yellow with longing to attend one of them.  (People are green with jealousy--is there any good reason why they should not be yellow with longing?)

But I have no more reason to be yellow or any other color, for on October 22nd (a week from today! ONE MORE WEEK 'TIL REVOLUTION!) there will be a veritable explosion of activity over at Anne-girl's blog, Scribblings of My Pen.  Because Anne-girl is hosting an online writers' conference and I don't think I'm going too far when I say that this kind of news just about takes the giddy biscuit!

There will be inspirational posts on a slew of different writing topics, there will be pep talks from Anne-girl's characters, there will be opportunities to swap your writing with fellow scribblers, there will be question-and-answer sessions with some of your favorite authors in the blogosphere (Anne's taking the questions now, by the way!) and plenty of rip-snorting fun.  Besides which, Anne has forcibly forced kindly invited me to distribute the prizes after the headmistress makes her commencement speech, and though I'm trying to foist the job off on Gussie Fink-Nottle, the end result may be quite entertaining.  So do come.

Oh, and don't forget to stop off here and pick up a button of your own-- let's spread the word, shall we?

P.S.  To all of you who may think I've been watching too much Jeeves and Wooster lately-- I don't know what you're talking about.   *dances off singing Forty-Seven Ginger-Headed Sailors*

What Ho, Jeeves!! A writers' conference, you say?! Had I not already known about it, I'd say WHAT HO!! a few more times. And then Right Ho. : P

Anyway, are you going? I'm attending and almost giddy with excitement. I have school that week, but it'll be only slightly higher of a priority than the Scribblers' Conference. : )

PS: Where do you watch Jeeves and Wooster? I'd dearly love to start watching some because the one book I started reading was so funny!!

What fun! I'm very muchly looking forward to Anne-girl's conference! :D

Oh, spellcheck... "muchly" is a word. So stop underlining it with that horrid, red line.

And Amy, I've tagged you over at my blog! I do hope you stop by to check it out!
