Thanks, Nancy...that's a good point about the networking...I'm going to maybe start a new thread on it, if I can't find anything in the stickies. You know, just basically, how people do that, in general, when it comes to writing...how to go about networking.
And, yeah, I haven't been to Cincy in years, but I miss that zoo. They used to have concerts there at night, which I loved b/c all of the animals got activated (thus, my membername)...
I gave myself a kick in the butt today and made a list of 5 ideas (which I've been kicking around in my head the past couple months)--I committed them to paper--and then made a list of at least 10 markets, both local and national, that would be open to these 5 ideas.
It's funny...I stopped in a different B&N today to check out the mags again, and there was a woman looking at the same mags as I was, with a notebook, jotting things down. I was a little slow on the up-take, and then I was, like, duh! She might be researching the same thing I am. But she had walked away by the time I figured that out.
So I think that was, um, probably a missed opportunity for doing some networking, maybe.
