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?

AAAH JUST FINISHED BOOK TWO STARTING ON BOOK THREE AT ONCE.

Really, really excellent, by the way.

Those panels do look interesting.

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.)

*laughs* I don't generally react "how could you" to things because... well, there's very little that authors I've read haven't done at some point or another. I'm more likely to be unpleasantly surprised than pleasantly. :D

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!
