yesterday's accomplishments:

2100 new words on Bonnie #1. One faux author bio and "Dear Reader' letter drafted (no, you'll just have to buy the book to find out). Several rounds of e-mail on various things. One venting of political annoyance aimed where it might actually do some good. Two trips up and down the Stairs of Doom (I'd be much happier about my accomplishment if I hadn't gotten lapped by an old woman carrying groceries. Seriously). Dinner at an Ethiopan place I'd never been to (yum) and a glass of wine that was totally new to me.


Today there will be less accomplishment, as I'm off to Lunacon with the Riverdale Caravan this afternoon, the copyedit of THE NIGHT SERPENT in one hand and my notebook for BONNIE #1 in the other. My hope is to come up with a title for the latter this weekend. Hello, Inspiration? I'll be the one in the corner, holding a purple iris. You can't miss me....

If you're at Lunacon, stop by and say hi! [if you see me working on the manuscript, it's still okay to approach. If I want to be antisocial I work where I can't be seen].

Was it good?

it was interesting -- very dry, and slightly raspy -- and went very well with the Yebeg Tibs I ordered. it was listed as a North African wine, which is not an area I know anything about. I didn't think to write the producer's name down, unfortunately. Hrm. It tasted a little like a pinotage (not suprising), but wasn't...

Well, North African could be from French cepages since the French were there for a long time. It depends on where in North Africa.

Looking forward to seeing you at the con.

What are you going to read from on Saturday?

[lagilman]

*frown* I was listed for a signing, not a reading. Unless I'm missing something?

(If I suddenly have a reading, I'll pull out "Illumination" from the forthcoming POWERS OF DETECTION II)

Yep, Saturday at 6pm. Check out this link.

I noticed it because I'm planning on going to Rosemary Edgehill's reading which is right after. So I thought I'd come by and catch two readings at one go.

[lagilman]

*facepalm* So I have a meeting at 4, a panel at 5, a reading at 6, and a signing at 7?

Thanks for the heads-up!
