Doing What We Do

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , , , | 1 Comment
It’s always interesting coming back from a con. There’s the usual physical exhaustion – eating and drinking in excess, staying up too late, socializing, panels, etc, etc. (I did no dancing this time, alas. I’d forgotten some of my meds for my back and I was already super stiff by the 3rd day. Dancing would have crippled me completely.) But as to the rest of it? Yes, I had a good time. It always takes me a day or so to get into “con” mode – my first panel is nearly always a bit of a stressful thing for me – same way this time. I think I came across as a bit stiff, but once I manage to settle in, the rest of them go okay.  (AAD is a bit different than other cons because there aren’t assigned moderators – this can be good, but it can also be… Read more

Off and On

Guess I’m officially taking off for the week, more or less. I can’t promise any blogging about the conference as it happens, though I’ll certainly try to take pictures. (I always say that…and then I almost never take any. Weird.) But tonight it’s packing and getting things together and then tomorrow I’ll hit the road. It’s going to be a busy couple of days, not only because of the con, but I got hit with the deadline for my story in the Womanthology issue yesterday. Script is due…Friday. So I have to fit that in around everything else. Hell, this whole month is like that – I’m working on polishing my short story. I have a proposal to write. I have other projects to do and a few websites to develop. In short? Booked solid for the rest of this month. It’s actually kinda crazy. *breathes deep* But first things… Read more

Word-Whore ~ Fox and Willow Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , | Leave a comment
Just a quick note to mention I’m over at Word Whores today – this week the theme has been about women writers in Sci-Fi and the “boy’s club” mentality that continues to be a part of the fandoms. It’s been a really great week so far, full of excellent points and discussion, so it’s definitely worth a read. Fox & Willow also updates today, and on a side note, I finally finished the rough draft for a short story for an upcoming anthology. (Of course it’s 1000 words too long, but that’s what editing and polishing is for. Hopefully I can whittle that down some. Gonna take a few days off of it to get some web design side jobs done and then tackle it again next week. Maybe during travel time for AAD.)… Read more

Word Whore ~ Fox and Willow Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
Guess I missed blogging yesterday. See the post before this about crashing and burning and all that. I don’t like blogging when I’m cranky – I tend to rant, and that’s never good. So some days it’s just better to not do it. Anyway – I’m over at Word-Whores today, talking a little bit about swag (hopefully I’ll have some new stuff to show you guys in a few weeks – F&W swag for one…plus something fun and Abby related.) And of course, Fox & Willow updates today – harping, ahoy!… Read more

Con Info

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , | Leave a comment
So many of my friends are gearing up for RWA this week – I’m not going, but I hope everyone has a fabulous time! 🙂 I’d like to go, but I’m trying to stick to things on the East Coast this year – budget and travel constraints and all that. Plus, I sometimes find myself wondering where my books really fit – I don’t really write romance and I don’t generally have HEAs. (Well. Except maybe this last one. In a manner of speaking. Ahem. There will hopefully be some happy readers this time around, yes?) So, weird place. Too much romance for the hard core fantasy readers…not enough for the romance readers. But it is what it is, so I’m not going to fret about it too much. I just thought I’d maybe take a spin through some different cons this year, since I’ve only ever really attended RT… Read more
