[conventions] WordStock
It was WordStock weekend here. Friday night, karindira and I went to the opening reception at the Weiden+Kennedy digs in the Pearl District. Very impressive. Spent some time hanging with davidlevine and kateyule there, as well as meeting various authors including Lynda Barry (who told me my hair smelled nice).
Saturday I skipped the festival to have a Dad day with the_child and a friend of hers. That was fun but tiring, and I got some book proposals written while they were watching X-Men cartoon videos.
Today I had my reading. That was preceded by a long chat with Stewart O’Nan and Lynda Barry about children, hormones and Pittsburgh, again joined by davidlevine and kateyule. After the reading I had a day rattling around WordStock, then taught a course section on SF for non-SF people. That was followed by a birthday party for my (step)mom. All of which was big fun, except I started really wiping out from fatigue during the afternoon, and now can barely keep my eyes open. I think I’m coming down with something, so I am off to sleep Real Soon Now.
Another week looms, more writing related program activities.

Expect regular wit and erudition to resume on Tuesday.

After some severe personal difficulty at home this morning, the rest of this day has been a lovely blur. Sleepy now.

[conventions] WFC Day Two
More blur. More stuff. Cheese party went off brilliantly, with co-sponsorship from calendula_witch and deborahb, along with a lovely concert from kenscholes. Big group dinner, mass signing, parties, bar, tired. Did get my two hours in on Tourbillon, though.
Zzz.

[conventions] WFC Day One
In late, tired, crashing out. This morning’s mishaps were followed by a very nice afternoon and evening, highlighted by some quality bar time with a cast of dozens, extremely pleasant dinner with casacarona, calendula_witch, and a very nice Tor editor and her spouse. Good reading this evening too.
Tired now.

[writing] Alliteration failure
Important safety tip: sometimes it’s just not a good idea to say what comes into your head. From this early morning’s work on Tourbillon:
Her approval thrilled Boaz, sending an unexpected crackle through his crystals.
Don’t you just love it when something sends a crackle through your crystals?
