Midweek Update Is Counting Down the Days to Vacation

Wait, we're heading to London in TEN days??  GAH!  I still have things to do!!!  Okay, not *too* much, but enough to keep me busy for the next week and a half.  Doing some catching up on the writing front, set up plans for the trip itself, and prepping my freebie cards for Worldcon when we return. 

[Speaking of Worldcon, not sure if any of you have heard the programming kerfuffle that happened this past weekend.  Long story short, it was a case of thinking they were doing the right thing but actually doing quite the opposite...many attendees (including Hugo nominees) were not put on any panels at all; panels suggested by authors/editors were assigned to completely different people; bio info was scraped from random internet places without permission; and other Really Unprofessional Mistakes.  As I've said elsewhere, I have a very small pony in this race and therefore those who had a much worse time of it should definitely get more airtime.  My small mare was that I felt I wasn't worth even a lousy rejection letter or any kind of communication saying 'sorry, you're not on any panels'.  Not sure if it was because I'm still an unknown, or that I'm merely a self-published author and shouldn't be taken seriously, or just that I didn't make the cut.  That's the problem with no communication: I have no idea why I didn't get picked.  That said, I go into more detail at the WtBT blog here.  Despite that, I'm still looking forward to the con nonetheless, because I'm looking forward to meeting up with writer friends and promoting In My Blue World, among other things.]

ANYWAY.  Looking forward to a nice relaxing vacation in the Big Smoke so I can visit friends, see the sights (including Abbey Road's Studio Two!!!) and other things.  Oh, and enjoying a good pint.


Hope everyone's having a good week!
