Should You Be Poking Me There?

Nothing like a doctor visit to make you feel fat. *sigh* Nuff said on THAT topic.
Today, I spent half the day writing and managed to get 1700 words written. My official first day after the end of the semester. (Yesterday was spent at the book signing and Meet & Greet, which went well. A special thanks to
libwitch for sending down her posse. They didn't all intend to buy books, but I charmed them into forking over the cash. *grin*) Not bad for the first day, although tomorrow I need to DO MORE if I'm going to get the novel done before I head off to the AP Calculus grading session in Kansas City. I'll push to see if I can get twice that tomorrow. This shit it hitting the fan, so typically I can keep up some high word counts.
But the real reason for this post is to let everyone know my Balticon schedule. So here it is!
Friday 7 pm : The Outlaw Panel - Let pirates, highwaymen, and bandits assemble! Why do we like them and turn them into heroes by rewriting their history?
Friday 8 pm : Opening Ceremonies (assuming
pbray and I can get there on time)
Saturday 1 pm : Writing the economics of magic
Saturday 3 pm : Reading
Saturday 5 pm : Autograph table - Hotel Bar Lobby
Saturday 9 pm : How Not to Make the Book of Your Trilogy a Letdown for Readers.
Create a plot that continues the story.
Sunday 10 am : Playing in Someone Else's Sandbox: What can you expect if you write
stories for a tie-in/shared world created by another writer? Tell us how this
works for an interested writer!
Sunday Noon : Getting Published: Learn about how to handle query letters, fiction and
non fiction book proposals!
So who all is going? Who will I see there? Which of these panels do you find interesting?

Date: 2008-05-16 01:24 am (UTC)However, if I were coming, the economoics of magic, the trilogy panel, and the "getting published" panel would definitely hold my attention.

Date: 2008-05-16 12:31 pm (UTC)Glad you enjoyed book 2. I was expecting a post screaming, "How could you?!" at one point in book 2, but apparently you got past that. Most people feel book 3 is the best, so enjoy!
(And certainly tell everyone you know, post reviews, etc. I could use more word of mouth.)

Date: 2008-05-16 09:04 pm (UTC)I'll tell you this: in book one, I found Varis and the world interesting enough to keep reading. In book two, I began to really care about the people around her and what happened to them; however, book three is where I'm actually starting to love HER.
I have no idea if this makes any difference at all. :D Still reading! And enjoying!

Looking forward to seeing you there.
Cheers and best wishes,

Which of these panels do you find interesting?
The Outlaw Panel. But I s'pose that's obvious. *grin*
By the way, I just read The Skewed Throne, and loved it! I let my son read it, and he loved it. So when I got The Cracked Throne...the Beetle took it and read it first! *pout* I'm hoping to get my hands on it this weekend. :D

Date: 2008-05-16 12:37 pm (UTC)Glad you enjoyed the first book! Hope you get book 2 this weekend. And feel free to tell everyone to go out and buy book 1! Post a review! Pressure . . . well, you know the drill. *grin*

Date: 2008-05-16 01:17 pm (UTC)Mary *loved* your inscription, and Cheryl is now complaining because once again she is getting no work done around her house because all she is doing is reading. She finished the new Dresden Files, then I loaned her the Historian and J. Strange and Dr. Norrel, and then all of Song of Ice and Fire (read those in three weeks) - and now she has started on yours....
