First...a picture from the notorious Seattle Weekly article. If you haven't read it, and really really want to...it's here.
...but please be prepared. The sentiments in the article is NOT how most "people of color" feel about RWA in general!
Now, moving on....
Having been in the tech industry for over 5 years now, I am just now realizing how quickly we move. If I sit down with my counterpart UI designer and developer for half an hour (about how long it takes for a decision to get made), we can change how the next version of Windows will look and behave...and influence the world for about 5+ years with this decision. t.
On the other hand, I've been calling schools and bookstores to set up author events for SALSA...and the turnaround time is decidedly slower. Not a bad thing, but different for me.
Am I spoiled by having everything done instantaneously in the tech industry? By decisions made in the time it takes to down a venti white mocha? Maybe...just something to think about

You look absolutely gorgy, as usual! Miss you!
I get frustrated a lot too about the seeming snail's pace most industries take. I'm on deadline and these people know that, but don't get back to me for a long time. Sigh.
Very fun pic! You look fabulous! :-)

Pet: I try :) (Haha, actually this photo shoot was *so* embarrasing!)
Heather: So great seeing you on Friday!
You are so right - it's hard to adjust to the slower-paced publishing world after being a part of the fast-paced high-tech world. Love the pic!
