So remember I mentioned the interviews I did? One of them's up! CompletelyNovel.com interviewed me as an Author Blog Awards winner.

I admit, given that it's My Thoughts On Writing, it's not like you guys are the target audience. :D Also of note on this topic, a self-published novelist just won the Andre Norton award. (Thanks elucreh!) Congrats yuki_onna on an awesome win!

I've been building a package of paperwork for the writing conference -- I LEAVE ON WEDNESDAY OMG -- and I'm getting more and more excited about it. I'm going home early so I'm missing Sunday's presentations, which is a shame, but I get a full day to explore the conference exhibits and two full days of panels and presentations, so I'm okay with it.

Plus, there's THE HOGROAST to consider. I haven't been able to find out any information about it (believe me, I've been looking) but that just contributes to the excitement.

Apropos of none of this, tomorrow is International Museum Day! jonaht linked me to an article, and if you scroll to the bottom there's a link to a PDF file that lists all the participating museums, their free or discounted admissions, and the date they'll be participating.

AHRT: WE HAZ IT.

Still very jellus of your attendance at the conference! WHY must I have deadline this week?!

Especially since there's a hogroast. Extribuli and a pig on a spit. I don't even EAT pig and I find that exciting.

It's incredibly exciting. You should have a look at the program. There's SO MUCH going on and I only get to go to one panel per session? UNFAIR :D

There's a whole track about fandom, and a whole track about social justice, and one about internet publishing...

I've been sneaking peeks at the program, and then wailing in grief at not being able to go.
