[Writing Post] Hitting the Ground Running
Oh, hi….I’ve been distracted today and still have stuff to do. It’s shaping up to be an interesting month… if it’s going to be the Chinese version remains to be seen.
The big writing news this week – at least in my world – is Gordon van Gelder stepping down from F & SF and Charles Coleman Finley taking over. This is big news. One – Finley is bringing F & SF into “modern times” by FINALLY, finally, finally accepting electronic submissions. There was no reason NOT TO. And TWO – any time the editors of major magazines change it’s news.
Now that I’m City Government Employee, I have MLK Day off on Monday. I’m “celebrating” by having a Redheads of the Apocalypse meeting for part of it. YAY! We’re getting closer on a draft for a possible future book.
The next bits – APPEARANCES – I have some…
My first appearance for 2015 will be the North Texas Comic Book Show in Dallas January 24-25, 2015. I’ll have a table selling books.
I think I’m working part of Dallas Comic Con Fan Days on Saturday, February 7, 2015 – with Devin Pike’s Saturday Shin Dig crew. But I won’t have a table or anything – so it’s not technically an appearance, but I will be around. (And wow, they don’t make it easy to find the correct website anymore….)
The next big appearance is CONDFW in North Dallas – across from the Galleria – February 13-15, 2015. I’ll be doing panels. I believe the full force of the Four Redheads will be there. I’ll be leading a pilgrimage across the freeway to Paradise Pen Company in the Galleria at one point – I do it every year around ConDFW for my birthday. This year I get to take friends and colleagues with me! So much fun.
Now, I have to get back to work – like I told Reading Rainbow. My other long-standing collaboration has come back to roost. I need to get back to work on that. There’s lots to be done. Need to get to it.
