Speaking of that unsaleable book...

[leahbobet]

May 14, 2008 Progress Notes:

Above

Words today: 1500.
Words total: 36,150 MS Word.
Reason for stopping: I'm doomed to not hit my bed before 2am any night this week.
Liquid Refreshment: Water.
Munchies: Nachos, bananas, and bad-for-me cookies. Not together.

Darling du Jour: Jack squints against the curling black-ink loops. I'm not sure he reads so good, but in Safe you don't have to. There's always someone there who'll shut your eyes and tell you soft a story.
Words Matthew Won't Admit to Knowing: He had a serious vocabulary tonight. We got to use words longer than three syllables!
Mean Things: Evil asylum goes on and on, but I think it's almost done. Serious underappreciation for hardworking allies. Getting the wrong end of things.
Research Roundup: N/A.
Books in progress: Jeffrey Ford, The Physiognomy, textbooks.
The glamour: Class, where the truly awesome TA I had for Poetry and Prose 1600-1660 last summer is now the truly awesome TA I will have again. Sweet. Otherwise, today was eaten up by crampiness and school reading.

Bwah. I am so winning the unsaleable poll. *party dance!*

It occurs to me that in a week and a few hours, I will be hopping a plane for Wiscon. So I frantically wrote up a pack list tonight in the boring bit of the class, and compared it to my last year's pack list for completeness (there are sometimes upsides to having used to the same dollar-fifty reporter's notebook as a low-tech Blackberry for the past two years). I think I have everything, including stuff like Coyote the Laptop, who will be accompanying me on his first international adventure. I'm sure whatever I'm forgetting will come to me once...well, I'm there. *g*

So while this is everywhere and I probably won't get the reply volume I'm hoping for, this being almost 2am that I'm posting...will I see you there?

Yay! Hope so. :)

I don't think I'm in Wiscon's target market. ;)

But I'm leaving in about 18.5 hours for Keycon...

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Have fun!

[squirrel-monkey.livejournal.com]

I'll be there.

Yep. My first time was last year, when I dragged my wife along and talked her into doing the writer's workshop. This year, she's reading her first published story.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Yay!

Congrats to her -- and what time? :)

Sunday, 1:00-2:15 P.M. ♦ Michelangelo's

Thanks for asking. :)

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

I will endeavour to drag my, by then, surely 99% bacon-filled butt over there for it. :)

Nope for WisCon.

Although definite yes for WorldCon. i has a plane ticket.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Alas, I am nope for WorldCon. I might make the Montreal one, but otherwise WorldCons tend to be 1) far and 2) big.

I'm doing Readercon and maaaaaybe WFC this year too, though.

[sora-blue.livejournal.com]

Hang on, I'm an idiot.

World Fantasy Con. I forget that middle part.

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Heeee.

Well, I will maybe be there!

[kelljones.livejournal.com]

I will be at Wiscon!

We don't know each other, so ignore this if it's creepy, but I had commented a while back about figuring out what books particular readers like, and you'd talked about your party trick for readers. (I did propose the panel, but it never turned up on the list, somehow.) Maybe the stars will align and we can talk books at Wiscon!

[leahbobet.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember that. :) That would be lovely!

I will be, um. At one panel and otherwise floating about and probably in the vicinity of the bar? *g*

[kelljones.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I will email you at your OWW-listed email.
