FENCON 4

I will be attending FenCon from September 21-23. And while the programming is plentiful and admirable as always, the majority of my time will be spent in the dealer's room at the Fan Done table.

Bud the Bunny books, Bud the Bunny plush bunnies, and copies of The First Line (Vol. 9, Iss. 1 - Spring 2007) containing my short story "An Angry Winter" will be available for purchase and autographing.

So while working on ACDT, this brusque, first-person character starts clamoring for my attention. The bastard took up my entire lunch break and while he has quite the story to tell, the current novel needs to be completed first.

I sent him to the back of the queue, but last time I looked, he had already muscled his way past the G trilogy, Roy Roger's pony and the ToSRS to be next in line. It took a few minutes to find the LP short story, as she had gone off under a table to cry.

If only my ACDT characters were so demanding right now ...

STILL PLODDING

and plotting.

Evening writing time has been sporadic as the day job consumes more and more of my free time, or just wrings me dry so that I come home, eat, sleep, and gain enough energy to go back to the cube again.

When the weather and meetings allow, I eat lunch outside at a local park with my ACDT* notebook and do my impersonation of an author at work. In addition to new characters or story aspects, I have now added mustard, ketchup, and french fry grease to my notes.
