Whirlwind weekend! Norwescon was lots of fun–lots of people saw Mark’s art in the art show and liked it, and we saw lots of fun people in the bar and liked that too. 🙂 No programming, which (speaking of liking things) is just how I like cons.
I did spend significant chunks of time in our room, writing: I got to the end of the Our Lady of the Islands rewrite. Which doesn’t mean it’s done; it means I got to “the end”. Now I have to go back through and fill in all the bracketed bits and the “add scene here” parts, and generally reread and make sure it still makes as much sense as I think it does. And I have a whole week to do that! Sort of. More or less.
We drove up and back with Camille and Claude, which is just as much fun as you might think: i.e., tons. And I did actual business at the con as well (I mean, lest you think I drove hundreds of miles and spent hundreds of dollars to write in a hotel room and get drunk with my friends).
So, a successful weekend all around. And we came home to a completed deck and greenhouse! But it was dark when we got here, so though we’ve wandered all around it looking at everything, it was kind of hard to see, and impossible to photograph. So: tomorrow for that.
For now, I’ve still got several hundred pages of the book-group-book to read before Tuesday’s meeting, so…I’m off to do that. And sleep in my own bed. Ahhh…..
