Con Planning

Today has been a day of some small exertion.

Found my clothes for Mid South. Tried on my good dress. reannon, the Cleavage Dress has a run for its money.

Got my stuff printed at Kinkos. I have a laminated cover of Nikolai, with an easel back.

Got dress shoes. I hate shopping. I hate hate hate it. And shoe shopping was only made worse by the fact all the shoes are UGLY. High heels. Pointy. square. rounded like little bitty baby shoes.ugh. I managed a pair of decent brown sandals.

Got jeans and underwear at Fred's.

My newsletters arrived.

Howl's Moving Castle

Laundry.


I have to go to the library and post office tomorrow on my way to work.
But there's egg salad for my lunch!

Busy week ahead

Naomi and I just finished a novella for Ellora's Birthstone line, the Topaz. "Showdown at the Yellowstone River" is in edits before submission.

I'm bushed. This thing wrote itself in a little more than a week. That's about 3000 words a day I've been typing.

I can only channel the Creative Fire, the Götterfunken, so long at that pace. It exhausts me.

I'm taking a week's writing hiatus.

Which is fine because this weekend is Mid South Con and the Looney Tunes Ritual.

I'm up for the Darrell Award, the Memphis SF/Fantasy writing award.
I'm all at sixes and sevens getting my stuff together.
