I have to be brief this morning, because I delayed yesterday's errands until today, because I didn't want to stop writing (that's a rare thing). I still don't want to take this break, but with Dragon*Con looming so near, I have no choice. Yesterday, I wrote 1,216 words on Chapter Eight of Murder of Angels.
I'd really wanted to make the screening of The Matrix Reloaded at the Fox last night, but I was so wiped out after the 7:30 wake-up thing and the hours of writing, and I made the major mistake of lying down about 5:30 p.m., on the bed, and woke an hour and a half later, too late to get dressed, have dinner, and make the movie.
Thanks to everyone who wrote in to thank me for yesterday's post on costuming and role-playing. I was surprised. That was one of those posts that I thought would mostly piss people off. Just shows to go you, I am often wrong. This is a subject I'll return to, when I have time. Meanwhile, there's a thread in my discussion forum on this topic (see "Living Fiction").
I have my schedule for Dragon*Con. It's not much, because I asked to be scheduled very lightly this year (my tenth consecutive Dragon*Con and, probably, my last). It is as follows:
Saturday, August 30th, 2:30 p.m. Signing Bonn (Marriott)
Saturday, August 30th, 5:30 p.m. Reading Williams (Hyatt)
Saturday, August 30th, 10 p.m. Panel ("Conflict and Suspense) Greenbriar (Hyatt)
Sunday, August 31st, 4 p.m. Signing Bonn (Marriott)
Monday, September 1st, 1 p.m. Panel ("Done to Death") Greenbriar (Hyatt)
There is a small chance I might do one or two more panels. If so I'll make the announcement here. And yes, I will have books to sell at the reading and signings, including copies of The Five of Cups and Waycross.
Now, I got forth into the hot, vile, human-infested world to work my mischief . . . um, run my errands.
