It’s the Wednesday after ArmadilloCon. It’s not the most relaxing week ever, but I’m getting there.

No fan run convention is created equal - heck no convention PERIOD is created equal. They all have their unique strengths and things that make us love them. Kind of like people. ( Read more... )

Obviously it’s not Wednesday. I got caught up yesterday in doing Responsible Adult Things and Breathing-In-Spite-of-Crepe-Myrtles day. So, yeah, I thought about a blog post then… not so much.

This was supposed to be - and still is a “Care and Feeding” post from a Writer to Con- ( Read more... )

It’s Wednesday. Blog day…and Geekinomicon report day (or maybe report day 1 depending on how long this goes). Geekinomicon is/was a First Year Media Con. The group that owns the show has two more dates this year - one in St. Louis and one here in Dallas. And being a first year ( Read more... )

Better late than never, I suppose. SoonerCon was two weeks ago, and yes, I’m just now getting around to this. Only because of crazy busy life stuff - that doesn’t end until October. Right, then. So, SoonerCon was something that I both needed and needed to be great. I was not ( Read more... )

It’s a cold day in North Texas, and as shocking to the system as it is, I do love it. It’s crisp and bright, and perfect fireplace weather. I love me some fireplace weather. And for me, fireplace weather is also writing weather, but there are no excuses when you’re curled up in ( Read more... )

So , today kicks off FenCon Setup - which starts the marathon days for me until Monday afternoon. I deal with the Day Job until 5 pm then meet Jimmy to head over to the hotel to start load in at 6 pm. FenCon has been eating my brain for the last month - that along with a very ( Read more... )

So, I’m back from LoneStarCon 3 - aka WorldCon - and though I ended up having a good time, it’ll be a while before I do one of these again. And if/when I do? It won’t be on staff. It’s a ton of work and with all the other stuff to do there? It’s a lot.

WorldCon is both a good ( Read more... )

This week’s writing blog - when it’s okay to say “no” to a convention. I know, it seems counter-intuitive to say when a lot of writers - like me - tell new writers to go, get out there, and meet people. However, there are times when you can - and should - say (very, very politely ( Read more... )
