Well OryCon is over…it was a LOT of fun, and I’m exhausted, just exhausted. And Mark is already long abed. I had really good panels and a productive workshop–at least I think it was productive. The two authors whose stories we critiqued seemed to receive the news on how their pieces could be improved with […]
Busy at OryCon, having lots of fun!! In fact rushing out the door right now, Mark has a reading at 11:30. See some of you there, I hope!
OryCon starts this weekend, here in Portland–actually, it has already started, as Mark and I attended a meet-and-greet for writers workshop participants (writers and pros). That was fun–I’m still really enjoying this kinda new thing, of walking into a roomful of writing-people and knowing at least half of them. 🙂 Because it’s in town, and
Okay I more than looked at the garden today…I planted the adopted rose bush that came home in the back seat of the car; and the other rose bush that La Enigma and her Consort brought over; and then I figured I should plant some of these iris bulbs I dug up and separated a

We made it to northern California today; Marin County, at the end, and a fabulous sushi dinner with my brother. And ice cream. Yum. Lunchtime, we stopped in San Francisco for lunch with desperance and Karen. And ice cream. Yum. I wonder why these jeans are so tight…. Tomorrow: norther and norther. Home soon!
It’s been heavy traveling/visiting the last few days, with little or no internet (and little or no time for same)….normal blogging should return on the weekend, I hope! (Whatever normal means, of course.) Central California today; Bay Area tomorrow; onward and upward…. Meanwhile: oh jeez look at the time. Sleep now.
Gosh, there are a lot of people here in Los Angeles. Far too many, in my opinion. However, some particular few of them are fabulous and beloved, and thus the day was spent in the visiting of a few of those. (More shall be tomorrow, before Mark and I head slowly northward.) Breakfast, lunch, and
