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?

Saturday 3 pm : Reading

Saturday 5 pm : Autograph table - Hotel Bar Lobby

So who all is going? Who will I see there? Which of these panels do you find interesting?
