What a week!
Comic Con was a blast. I dragged my esteemed writer husband into the front row of a panel of sci-fi authors, including Vernor Vinge and Orson Scott Card. Afterward, we both approached Kevin J. Anderson to say hello and he recognized us from last year’s L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future workshops. [Jason won 1st place for 1st quarter of 2003] We were shocked and delighted.
The panel was fun and informative, too. My kind of crowd.
Ashleigh Raine’s Talisman Bay series is changing by the minute. Jen and I are still sort of in a daze, but we’ll get over it. Besides, we’re nose-to-the-grindstone on a different project right now anyway.
And then there’s me and my writing…
All I can say is, “Wow!”
Polishing CR is going very well. For a while there, it was hell, but I took a lot of notes, paid attention to critique and now I can’t wait until I do another read or two. I haven’t felt this good about much in a very long time.
RWA National is next week and I’m mentally psyching myself up for it. I’ve never been there before. I don’t know exactly what to expect–or what not to expect!
For now, I must get back to my wonderful work… I love being a writer! The thrill never fades!
