[Writer Post] No, Drama! Bad, Drama! No Biscuit!

Posted by reudaly on June 10, 2015 in Books, Conventions, Writing |

So, in the last week there’s been OMG! DRAMA! Online (shocker I know). I’m done with it. Totally over it to the point of actually hiding people that are basically “mongering” the Drama. That’s just one issue that Just. Won’t. Die. There was a second issue – but that had a tiny blow up and has gone away (until 2016 when scheduling conflict becomes a more “real” thing than it is now). Then, hopefully, if that comes back around, there will be civil discourse.

Anyway, I’d rather focus on the Cool, NON-DRAMA things that have happened in the past week.

• Mitch Bentley finished (and revealed) the awesome cover of my book, Tarbox Station. It’s very cool. Very shiny. I am thrilled. It also kinda goes along with my theory that if authors make an effort to get to know artists (who are really, really cool people), that even when/if you don’t get to pick your artist, you might still get a more amazing cover than if you don’t know your artist. So go meet some artists when you’re at conventions.

• Actually made my short story deadline. Whether it sells, who knows, but one of the editors is a friend. I told her I’d write something (before life got in the way), and I wasn’t sure it was going to happen, but it did. I’m pleased that I didn’t bail because it’s a personal honor thing. I said I’d do something, I needed to do it (regardless of how it turns out). Now, I can focus on the next two deadlines in the next two weeks.

• ApolloCon and SoonerCon are rapidly approaching – which encompasses those last two deadlines. I can’t wait. If the preliminary schedules I’ve seen continue to be accurate – I’ll be busy. Both schedules are…energetic. But I’m already starting my Emergen-C with B vitamins to have the energy to hang out with all of you.

• One last addition to the schedule… I’m returning to Tyler Rose City Comic Con in October, but this time as a Panelist/Guest (as well as having a table to sell books from). I’ll be doing a couple of panels (including moderating a Q&A “VIP” panel) and being judge for the short story contest. So, new adventures. I’m not on the website yet, but they haven’t updated it in a week or so.

Big things happening. I’m so excited. But I can’t stop now. Too many things to do. Hope to see you at either ApolloCon or SoonerCon!
