Write-a-thon Week 3

I reached my week 3 goal! Go me. It was difficult with ReaderCon impinging on my weekend writing time, but I had a lot of fun and it was worth it. I didn’t end up taking any pictures, so unfortunately you’ll have to do without.The con itself was great. I ended up not going to many panels. I think that I completely paneled myself out at WisCon and felt more like relaxing and talking with friends. I spent a lot of time in the dealer’s room behind the Wildside Press table. Lots of people hang out in the ReaderCon dealer’s room, though, so I was sure not to miss anyone standing around in there.

I finalized all the details of my new position as Fantasy Magazine’s non-fiction editor. I know now exactly what I need to do and when. I already have my first interview in the bag and I’m ready to start on at least three more. I’m very excited about this job! I get to have conversations with awesome people about fantasy and writing and literature. How cool is that?

This next week is all about getting stuff done before I go to the LaunchPad workshop (and still having to write a story). I may also have a small surprise.

Write-a-thon Week 2

I’m pleased to announce that I reached my Week 2 goal of writing a new story!  It’s short (under 2K) and has no title yet, but it exists.

The next piece I’m going to work on isn’t a story, exactly.  It’s a combination of prose and graphic novel script for a “Choose Your Own Adventure”-type book.  A friend of mine asked if I could produce a short novel for them in less than a month.  Might as well use the Write-a-thon to get the first draft done!  It’ll be about the same length as a short story.

My Tuckerization auction earned Clarion West about $51!  I hear the other auctions went even better than that, so at least $200 raised, but probably more.  I think I will Tuckerize the winner in next week’s project.

I’m also going to Readercon next weekend.  Doing another Interfictions reading.  I’ll post pictures and a con report next Sunday.
