Hey all,

Maria and I are packing our bags and ready to head out to the Maui Writers Conference—oh the hardships of being an editor (insert smilie face here). She wanted to post, but was too busy trying to locate a reasonably-priced grass skirt on eBay, so I'm filling in. Thankfully, I already own one.

Not much new to report today, but we do have a favor to ask: We're looking to improve our online efforts and hope you're willing to spend a few minutes to complete an online survey about your Internet habits. Your response will help us serve you better and make WritersDigest.com an even better resource for writers. Give us your feedback here!

Maria will check in on Friday and update everyone on notable events at the conference. And if she can drag me away from the beach, I will too—as long as I'm allowed to type while wearing my grass skirt.

Take care of yourself and your writing,
Brian
