[Personal] Updating Status
So yeah, it does seem like I have dropped off the face of the blog. And I did. I’m six weeks out of shoulder surgery and in well into physical therapy. It still aches. PT is not fun but necessary. I’ll be weak on the right arm for a while. I call the arthroscopic scars […]
[WHOOPS] Murphy’s WEEK
On this, a Full Moon Friday the 13th… I stand before you and admit that this week did NOT go according to plan. I MEANT to get a pen blog done. I MEANT to get a story done. Neither one of those things happened. I’ve gotten very little of what I MEANT to do done […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] ARGGGHHHH FenCon Week
It’s FenCon Week. That should tell you EVERYTHING. And, alas nothing. I had grand plans to get a blog post done today. Day Job meeting got in the way — and threw everything off. Then the giant TO DO list reared up and some tech stuff is frustrating me… so RERUN week. Whoops. This is […]
[Writing Post][Conventions] FenCon Part 2
My last post seemed to scare the bejeezus out of some folks. Let me ‘splain…no, it will take too long, let me sum up… I’m not giving up Guest Relations permanently, not even with FenCon. I’m just not going to be in charge. Guest Relations is not just something I do, it’s part of my […]
[Pen/Pencil Review][Writer Post] Dallas Pen Show/FenCon Part 1
I may end up breaking this blog post up into two parts because of length. There’s so much to talk about. FenCon week is always a challenge since I’m both writer chick and staff chick. This year seemed especially challenging and bittersweet because next year I’m taking a step back and letting someone else take […]
[Pen/Pencil Review][Conventions][Writing] COMBO POST!!!!!
YAY! COMBO POST! Pens, writing, and conventions because it’s just that week. Heck, it’s just that month. September is my most busy and stressful month of the year – and this week is the biggest week in the month. Day Job has a big event. FenCon starts (for staff) technically Wednesday. Parents 50th Anniversary is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Oh, Hey, Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! Love having a Federal Holiday right after a convention – it’s awesome. We got back from Geekinomicon last night. It was awesome and exhausting, and we’ll talk about that on Wednesday. It’s also the day we celebrate my Mom’s birthday — tonight we GRILL! (Actually in about 45 min!) There’s an amazing […]
[Writer Post] All the Updates
Happy Blog Day Wednesday. Getting ready for Geekinomicon next weekend. Running a panel at 6 pm on Friday – don’t know if anyone else is going to be on it or if it’s just me. If you’re one of my OKC folks or can be one of the OKC folks, come out and support the […]
[Writer Post] Changing the Narrative
During ConDFW I participated in several conversations on the same topic of fan-run conventions, and much of it came down to the same thing…what could be done to bring more people in. Though it was encouraging to see new faces at ConDFW, it’s true that the numbers of attendees have not been what they were. […]
