Erin Fry is officially my hero. If you don’t know Erin, she’s one of the staff members at Romance Writers of America.

And she really saved my bacon today.

I submitted a workshop proposal for the Dallas conference to RWA … and then my computer decided to die. I didn’t have a backup of the proposal anywhere. Not in my e-mail, not in my documents, not in my files.

Dumb, huh?

Panicked, I emailed RWA, and Erin sent me a copy of my proposal in less than twenty minutes. Which saved me from having to do the whole thing over. Thank you, Erin! :-) 

If you write romance, and you haven’t joined RWA, I encourage you to. It’s a great organization with a professional, courteous staff who are real lifesavers.
