After a weekend of working hard on the Instagram account for the @jamesrvrwriters conference, Windsor is enjoying a much deserved drink. #JRW16 #amwriting #amdrinking #amtired #dragonsofinstagram #rvawrites #rva (at Liberty Public House)

Windsor is grumpy, because the conference is over. Erica Orloff put on a great conference and is passing her conference tiara to Leila Gaskin, the chair for next year's conference. #JRW16 #JRW17 #rvawrites #rva #anwriting #amtired #dragonsofinstagram (at Greater Richmond Convention Center)
