Sundry updates
ArmadilloCon was delightful (except for the migraine and the insomnia, but those were my issues, not theirs). If you are a fan of Scott Lynch, keep your ears open this week for an announcement that is, as they say, relevant to your interests. Maybe two, even. Also, thanks to a … [Read more...] about Sundry updates

If you've been following my Twitter … [Read more...] about Back from HighEdWeb ’08
RWA National and SF cons, compare and contrast
After eleven years of SF conventions, RWA National was … different. Convention neepery follows; run away now if you don't care about this sort of thing. For starters, I'm more or less used to being in the minority at SF cons. (I haven't been to WisCon. I will.) RWA … [Read more...] about RWA National and SF cons, compare and contrast

Home from RWA National. Later this week, if I can pull my thoughts together, I'll write a bit about how I think RWA and SF cons could learn from one another. For now, I'm cataloguing all the free books I got (DEAR GOD, PEOPLE, ALL THE FREE BOOKS), unpacking, catching up on … [Read more...] about Hot, tired, and home
WFC report, attempt #1
OMG TIRED!!1111!!!1 Parties 3, Steph 0. I have skulls (temporarily) tattooed on my hand. Memo to publishers: please cease and desist the practice of dropping authors on their heads.

Several excellent reasons not to stay at the Houston Intercontinental Airport’s Marriott hotel
It occurs to me that I haven't yet told you all about the wonderful hotel experience Sarah and I had on our way to Rochester. (By the way, most of the presentations are up, along with lots of photos.) See, our plane from Houston was leaving really early on Saturday morning, so … [Read more...] about Several excellent reasons not to stay at the Houston Intercontinental Airport’s Marriott hotel
