kinzelGoing to a new convention today -- PortConMaine, in South Portland. Tonight we have a reading and then I'll lead a discussion about book reviewing, tomorrow we have a writing panel and a stint in the dealer's room.
When we can we like to stay for an entire convention, but since I missed the at-site room reservation deadline (kept meaning to get to it, kept waiting for the check that would let me do it)we're staying off-site tonight and could even come home to feed the cats, I guess.
This morning I'm finishing up the latest issue of the Liaden Universe Pinbeam Quarterly, and will have time to print about 70 copies to take to the con. I think that'll hold us, especially since we're simply guests and not GoH this time around. They've got a couple hundred pre-registered members and are wondering if they'll hit the 1000 member cut off. Good luck to the committee, in advance...
We're halfway through the month -- too soon to see if Balance of Trade makes the Locus bestseller list for a second time. Having it reach the first time was a surprise, given the advertising delays and miscues it experienced. We'll cross-fingers and toes on a return listing and hope for some after-the-fact mentions in some regional and state library media.
Last night I added about 1100 words to the work in progress, finishing Chapter One. Things'll go slow today and tomorrow; hope to get Chapter 2 underway this weekend though. I'd have started this morning, but I needed to get some photos in for the PBQ and I need to pack some SRM Publisher orders before we leave town.
