Almost an Extra on Law and Order: SVUMarch 29, 2008
Friday morning came early with a quick Continental breakfast and speaker David Wolf, Attorney for the Novelists, Inc. Legal Fund. He answered questions about legal issues connected to a writing career. I didn't realize how much was involved until one writer was explaining about the legalities of action figures based on characters. Really, how cool would it be to see your favorite characters as action figures?
My favorite part was when she told us she had to leave the "sitcom psychotic environment." I always thought writing sitcoms would be a lot of fun. Apparently not. After meeting Theresa, I can't wait to read her book.
Jennifer Crusie and her editor Jennifer Enderlin discussed "Taking Chances in Publishing." They've worked together for 12 years and it showed with their easy banter. I had to leave early to run over to the St. Regis Hotel for high tea where I met local authors Dee Davis and
The cocktail party was a great time for everyone to kick back after a long day of seminars, and editor/agent meetings. This group cleans up well.
Dinner was a romance lovefest at Grand Central Station. Kate Duffy (Editorial Director at Kensington) brought together a mix of authors, editors, publicist and bloggers for an unforgettable evening of romance trivia, publishing history and famous people encounters (Kate's dad's college roommate was on PT 109 with JFK and Mary Stella ran into Jackie Kennedy...literally). I got to meet Sarah Wendall (Smart Bitches/Trashy Books) who calls Kate "the Julia Childs of romance" and will have a book published next year with her fellow blogger, Candy, about a guide to romance. Congrats Sarah and Candy! Kate, being the super hostess she is, managed to have us at the restuarant just as they were shooting an episode of Law and Order: SVU . Beth Ciotta was having a squee moment and asked me to take a picture of actor Christopher Meloni. Well, the assistant director starting yelling at me about no flashes and I thought security was going to come after me. Bottom Line: Mariska Hargitay was there too, but Beth didn't want a picture of her. Thank goodness, I probably would have been arrested.

In response to: Almost an Extra on Law and Order: SVU Kathleen O'Reilly commented: LAW AND ORDER:SVU ??? I love that show!!!It's stolen the special Law & Order place in my heart since Jerry Orbach died. Barb, it was mah-valous, dahlink. I can see that next time, I'm going to have to swing those tickets to Colbert Report.

In response to: Almost an Extra on Law and Order: SVU Dee Davis commented: We were the lucky ones--having tea with Barbara was so much fun. She had me in stiches! And SVU -- I'm so jealous! My husband is actually in an episode--he was standing on the corner outside a restaurant where they were filming. And so he's in the shot. Don't think he'll qualify for screen actors guild though! Thanks for a lovely afternoon, Barbara and a great blog!
