Meghan McCarron took a really great pic of me at the Genderfloomp dance at WisCon. I call this my femme girl at work look.
The whole dance was super awesome and I’m grateful to those who ran it! I especially liked the extra boas, hard hats, and mustaches available at the door, for those who wished to floomp their gender but had no tools to do such.
Here’s my best advice for those starting the Clarion West workshop today.
I hope you all have a great time there.
I’ll post more about the CW Write-a-Thon as I get started with things.
The last six weeks in summary:
–Got my novel draft out to my first readers
–Went to DC, did not win a Nebula, but am delighted for those who did
–Visited ombriel & family in Indiana, met my baby niece for the first time (OMG CUTE)
–Went to WisCon, held FOGcon party, worked too hard and wore myself out
–Visited Shannon’s friends & family in Iowa, got some sleep
–Came home from the 18-day 5-state trip, took care of a sick Shannon with illness resembling WisCholera ‘08
–Succumbed to that same illness myself, followed by resulting two-day migraine
–Printed out tons of paper for Shannon’s new job and helped him fax/prepare things
–Signed up for Clarion West write-a-thon, with plans to complete another series of novel revisions and get draft to second readers by Aug 1
–Destroyed free world, got bored, rebuilt it before anyone noticed
How about you?
