I took lunch earlier than usual. I am dying to get out of here. I don't want to work -- I want to go home and get started on my three-day weekend. Hurrah! Another week gone by.

I reserved a room at the ConQuesT hotel a few hours ago, just for Saturday night. I don't know if the cost is justified by level of enthusiasm, but I am feeling more excited about going than I have for the last several weeks. What the heck. It'll be fun. Maybe not as much fun as I'd have, oh, staying home and writing, but you never know. It might compete. :)

I've gotten some work done this week on re-vamping my book outline, though not as much as I'd hoped. Perhaps I'll work harder on it tonight. Don't know yet.

I am so anxious to be gone. I can hardly think of anything else. Not that I'm in a big rush to get to the con or anything ... I just want to be out of here. I'm full of nervous energy.

Well, I finished Time Enough For Love last night, and have been meaning to write something to LH about it (since I read it on his recommendation.) So I'll get started on that.

You do sound somewhere between itchy and twitchy, my friend. ];-)

What would that be? Nitchy? Or oitchy?

(I'm just glad "b" isn't between "i" and "t"!)

Nitchy, hmmm?

Maybe I should've stuck with "twitchy". Or I could lose a letter and be "witchy" -- not an inappropriate manner for an sf convention ....

Re:

I would not have suggested that one.

Hey, I have drafts out the door of several documents, and I am taking a break while various folks take a look.

A productive day, so far.

Congratulations! I hope you are enjoying your break. Getting more caught up on LJ and other forums?

A little bit -- But I am taking care of more importand matters first.

I think part of the reason I've majorly slacked off (translation: stopped) in fiction writing is because I kept revamping until my original ideas were barely recognizable. I'm sure that's just part of the process, but I find it to be an uncomfortable part.

(Note to self: Start writing again, dangit!)

ConQuesT with a capital T at the end, eh? Interesting. (Krudita and I have been perusing websites about conventions, working ourselves up to the notion of perhaps actually going to one. Nothing so far, though.)

[rowyn]

Cons can be a lot of fun. I only go to the local ones because I've been far too lazy and disorganized to go to one far away. Though I'm tempted by the ones that I know friends attend, like Necronomicon (a mostly-gaming con in Florida) and Further Confusion (a Furry con in California.)

You looking into science fiction/fantasy-type conventions, or gaming?

>You looking into science fiction/fantasy-type conventions, or gaming?

I'm not sure... mainly gaming, I think. Krudita has actually done most of the "looking into".

It just seems like something we ought to have done...

I mean, I think most people, if they knew I was a fan of Monty Python, played D&D, read Dork Tower and owned all the collections, played Munchkin, Cheapass Games, and a half-dozen role-playing games, was a fan of Weird Al, Star Wars, Star Trek, Christopher Guest mockumentaries, Lord of the Rings movies, TMBG, MST3K, and Douglas Adams... you'd think I'd have gone to some con, somewhere, at some point.

Perhaps the fact that I'm not a "die-hard fan" of any of the above categories is what has kept me from that final step into bona fide geekdom. (And I mean that in a good sense, I assure you.)

Psst!

Start writing again, dangit!

Yes, please do! :)

I hope you have fun! =) And if you get any good pictures, post one or two, eh?

[rowyn]

Heehee. I guess I never did link to those pictures from the last con. But I think most everyone on Sinai saw them anyway, since we were talking about it one evening there.

I've been meaning to ask you this, sir:

Your icon is very interesting, and reminiscent of Animusic's "drum machine" piece -- particularly with the pulsing. Are you familiar with it?
