Talk! and Update
Jul. 14th, 2009 07:40 amSo, as you all know, I traveled down to Hackensack, NJ, this past Saturday for a talk at a meeting of the Science Fiction Association of Bergen County. The talk went well I thought. Considering that both Shore Leave and Readercon were going on last weekend, I was happy with the number of people that showed up (approximately 20). I started talking, but told them all that they could interrupt with questions to help guide the talk to the stuff they really wanted to know, and they all obliged. The talk went on for 3 hours or so (they make the author work for their sales, they said) with some breaks. I had a blast, and if you're in the NJ area or near Bergen County, I'd definitely recommend that you check out the SFABC and attend a few meetings. It's a well-run and active group, with some pretty cool members. Check out their webpage for their upcoming meetings and events! And thanks everyone who came for a great event!
And one of those events is a multi-author signing in Paramus, NJ. We couldn't get the entire group together from the past multi-author signing, but we came close. Six authors will be gathering at the BORDERS EXPRESS in the Paramus Park Mall for another round of hilarity, donuts, and shenannigans. Here's the info:

Stop on by and chat with your favorite author, or come discover a new favorite!
In the revisions department, I've laid Part I of the book to rest, going back and making final decisions on all of the iffy stuff I made note of along the way. So that's done. I've started Part II, getting the first few chapters read, revised, with some iffy stuff made note of as well. I'm hoping to get to the next chapter or two today. I think I'm going to back to make some decisions on the new iffy stuff first though. The list of things to change is slowly being striked out. Still got a majority of it to look at though, since most of the changes come in the second part. But its getting done. Slowly. *grin*
So, off to get my 4 crits on the OWW done for the day for the Crit Marathon, and then on to the revisions!
