My first ever panel did okay. I will try to pass on my notes to the Arcadian crowd. Wound up at the Steampunk Sock Hop and danced my ass off, while discussing the finer point of "The Man from UNCLE" with this year's GoH, Elizabeth Bear.

Yup, Elizabeth Bear. She can twist and bunny hop and hand-jive like a fiend, even though she insists that she's ( Read more... )

 I love children. Really I do. They're precious and snuggly and adorable. I'm glad to watch them. Provided I volunteer or am asked, rather than being "volun-told".

I have been drafted to look after the Boss' baby. I don't mind as long as I am ASKED first. I had things I was going to do tomorrow morning. The bedroom needs serious cleaning. The dishes ( Read more... )

 Why, oh, why do I do this stuff to myself?

A petticoat, and two lolita skirts, all by Thursday. Plus, the new blog. Plus, the preparations for a fic round-robin festival my friend Morgyn and I are planning. Then, possible job deals, and, at this rate, no real breaks until my birthday weekend. I'm going to have to pray my immune system holds up.

 I want this book to be good. I don't want to offend anyone and I'm trying so hard to get it all right, but the line between fantasy and reality just had a brimming cup of reality check tip over on it.

I don't know how much real world there is in this book anymore. I love the Russian names, I love the overly-curious, clumsy seamstress, and her ( Read more... )

 Okay, so, now I'm feeling a little worried about my NaNo.

 I've been trying to find a way to supplement my very meager income for a while now, and I may have stumbled upon it.

I can sew, sort of. I can fake it pretty well, anyway. I'm getting involved in the ABJD community and it's amazing how much they'll spend on stuff (I don't blame them, with my own doll, I haven't even bought her and I can expect to ( Read more... )

 So, I started NaNo prep early this year. Figured it couldn't hurt, and I could do some of the weirder research (magic, myths, household management, names, etc.) at Pennsic and at the family reunion, where I can ask my sister-in-law, who is a Russian nut. Today, while trying to hash-out the logic behind this little Fisher Kingdom, I hit a major ( Read more... )

 It's been a while since we've talked and we have a LOT to talk about. So, how does everybody else feel about meeting Monday or Wednesday night around 7?

Topics I'd like to cover:

--Hit the Reset Button?
--Stories?
--Villains?

It's not much and if anybody else can think of any other topics, I'm happy to take suggestions.
