As one of the organizers of the Geneva Writers' Conference, I want to thank you Jane for all you offered us. Please bloggers, don't be blocked by the stereotype thinking of Switzerland. We're real writers, with more snow than Swiss francs in our pockets. But we are international and for all it's good points, internationalism is not always easy for writers to know who are their readers. We float out there in a more virtual world than other writers. So stay connected.

I thought the Geneva writer's conference was terrific, so glad I was able to attend this year!

For writers near or in Paris, these conferences are coming up: the Shakespeare & Co Festival – June 18th – 20th, 2010 (htpp://shakespeareandcompany.com) and the Paris Writers' Workshop – June 27th to July 2nd, 2010 (www.pariswritersworkshop.org).

I hope to attend my very first conference this year. There doesn't seem to be many around here in England, but so far I have managed to find one that has been going for 30 years, so should be good.

Dear Jane,
Would you trade Geneva for Arkansas? I'm thinkin' just around Sow Bug festival time, when all the fly tiers are in town showing off their trout flies... (bring your own electricity)!

Be real easy, like, squirrels up a tree!

Haste yee back ;-)
