Now Appearing

Since I was working on academic conferences today, I've also spent some time getting my writerly conferences in order.

Which means that I've reserved hotel and procured air ticket for Readercon, which I'm trying out for the first time this year. I'm keen to see some writing peeps and I hear the atmosphere is a bit more Wiscon-y, which I like. I also have a hotel room, where we can hang if we need some quiet.

I've added Icon to my Iowa appearances. I'm contemplating Windycon, but only contemplating.

So, who will I see at Wiscon? Convergence? Readercon?

And it's not too early to think about reading groups. Although I don't know how that happens at Readercon. If it does.

Off to stumble through teaching.

Reading Group Round Up

Seems that Catherine Cheek and myself are both reading middle grade novels at Wiscon. We'd like to call ourselves Young and Fabulous, and we're looking for a couple of other MG novel excerpts. Could that be you? Contact me if it is.

Catherine Lundoff, if you're putting together a Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading for Convergence, count me in.

Readercon: After studying the program and seeing the kinds of things that go on, I wonder if we Viable Paradise grads should try to arrange a reading in the fashion of Clockwork Phoenix or Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I'll see if I can garner some support for the idea, and maybe our attending teachers could help us ease the way.

I sure wish Bryon would get here to pick me up. I'm not looking forward to our drive home at 7. No sir.

Oh, and you don't have to be Catherine to read at a convention, but from the looks of things, it sure helps.
