Well, we finally made it back from RiverCon, WorldCon, and five days in West Virginia. I hope you're not looking for an entry with huge impact here, because I'm a bit too brain dead to get overly philosophical. Thanks to everyone who commented on this place over the past two weeks. It's a blast to meet people in the flesh after getting your e-mail. Overall, I had a really nice time. Yeah, the hotel at Baltiome was pretty crappy. And yeah, I wish I could have done a bit more "business". And it was an awful lot of driving. But we saw a ton of great people and got to spend some time up in the mountains (something Lisa really loves). Randy Dannenfelser brought copies of Adventures of Sword and Sorcery, so I got to see "Ties that Bind" in print--which is always cool--and I agreed to do a short story with Laura Resnick (or maybe I should say she agreed to do one with me?) Heck, Lisa even did pretty much all the driving while I worked on my book. Yep, you got it. I spent a couple hours a day going through Lisa's copy edits and scouring my novel. Still have four chapters to read through (which I'll probably do tonight), and I've decided to write a tiny little epilog. Then off it goes, into the wild blue yonder. Then it's on to short stories until later this year. Anyway, it's great to be back home. I'm actually glad that the writers of the Future thing got pushed back a few weeks, now. It'll give me a little time to get my act together again before heading out there! See ya tomorrow.   Glamour of the God-touched: the inside story of a work in progress.
