This was my first SF convention, and was something of a test to see if I could enjoy conventions of any kind. Last summer, while I was in San Diego for Clarion, I went to ComiCon, which managed to awaken an inner agoraphobe the existence of which I had not previously suspected. But a week [...]

I haven’t been posting much lately, mostly for lack of having anything new to talk about. (I have remained pretty active on Twitter — link in the sidebar.) But this past weekend I went to WisCon with Kat and Keffy, my first SF convention. I had a blast, and will be heading home tomorrow. I’m [...]

A while back, on Facebook…. Me: Meds have made me slow–i left my computer at my parents’ house. I never do that. Send brains.
