[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 […]
[Spotlight Post] Timothy Zahn & Comic Cons
It’s Friday. That’s Spotlight Blog Post day. It’s also Dallas Comic Con/FanExpo Fan Days – though I don’t have a table in what’s left of Artist Alley, I will be working tonight’s Kick-Off Shin Dig (off site party). You can come see me there. Devin Pike is doing an amazing job with expanding the offerings […]
[Spotlight Post] Amanda Wyss
On Wednesday I talked about the business side of Dallas Comic Con. I tried to be clear that it was never, ever about the people. I love the people involved with Dallas Comic Con. And though I try not to flaunt it, I do enjoy meeting the celebrities because the ones I meet are generally […]
[Writer Post] The Good and Bad of Dallas Comic Con 2014
I’ve been really thinking about what I want to say about Dallas Comic Con this week – because it has bearing on writing – a lot of bearing. And not all of it’s going to be sunshine and roses. I started doing comic book events a couple of years ago to meet new people. I […]
Apologies… And Yeah…
I apologize for not posting a spotlight last Friday. I hit the ground running setting up and selling books at Dallas Comic Con. Unfortunately, that also means there will not be a pen review blog today, either. After dealing with all the folks at Comic Con, I’m doing pretty well to focus my eyes and […]
[Writer Post] Dallas Comic Con and Chicken Dancing
Well, hey, Wednesday… I’m told today is http://www.punchbowl.com/holidays/national-chicken-dance-day. I’m currently doing the “Headless” version of that – fortunately the Chicken Dance looks enough like flailing no one’s noticing. There’s Day Job Stuff that “has to be done before Thursday afternoon” that hit my desk this morning – of course, half the information I need is […]
[Writer Post] The Next Things
Hello, Wednesday… Good to see you. Time for a blog post. It’s a “SQUIRREL!” day at work – lots of little, random things to do at work…that’s reflected here… My calendar has opened up a little. We’re done with working Scarborough Renaissance Festival, but we might go out and play some. The next thing is […]
[Spotlight] Amanda Wyss and Silverado
This is going to be short and sweet. I’m thinking about doing something different on Fridays but I’m not sure what. Back in 1985, a high school friend dragged me to see Silverado, she had a giant Fan Girl Crush on Scott Glenn (and really, who didn’t). Silverado should’ve been a much bigger movie than […]
[Writer Post] Sci Fi Expo Report
Sci Fi Expo was last weekend. I have survived two of my three shows in five weeks. ConDFW looms on the horizon. I’m looking forward to ConDFW as a more relaxing time, even though it’s the longest of my three shows. The literary conventions tend to be less intense than the comic book shows, which […]
