[Writer Post] ConDFW and Accountability
Ah, Wednesday, you almost got away from me. But I’m on to you! Hah. So… what’s going on here?
CONDFW starts in TWO DAYS! TWO DAYS, y’all. Please come out and see the authors, artists, and other creators. Come to the panels. Come to the SIGNINGS (Julia Mandala and I sign at 5 pm on Friday)! Come to the READINGS (J. Kathleen Cheney and I are doing Breakfast Reading on Saturday at 10 am)! See the rest of my schedule here…
I know there’s a for-profit comic con going on the same weekend, but please, for the love of fandom, don’t forget the fan-run conventions. And if you don’t come for ME, come for JOHN SCALZI!!!! Fan-run cons only survive when fans support them (and there’s much more to do for a more modest financial investment). END PITCH.
Still readjusting to the new schedule of being a “real employee” again – but I totally appreciate some of the inadvertent “accountability” I’ve gotten lately. Allan Cole just asked me on Twitter how my writing’s going. Which means it darn well better be going. Right? I also feel the slight prod the closer to ConDFW we get to ConDFW (about to be surrounded by creative colleagues, and don’t want to feel left behind – yes that’s my “problem” but it’s also MOTIVATING!). I want to say there was someone on Facebook who also asked. My production might not be STELLAR, but slow and steady also works (as long as it IS steady – that’s the key).
And I was actually doing fiction word counts when I remembered it was Wednesday. So, it might be a short post because I should get back to it before the CRAZY begins on Friday.
