fun, fun, fun
I haven't been to a small, personal convention in a very long time, and so I enjoyed this one immensely. Listening to Misty and Larry read was very enjoyable. If I had my druthers, that's how I'd receive all their works.
And midway through I went home and relaxed a bit on my couch and thought to myself, "Self, I think you would enjoy writing books for a living." And myself said, "Yep. But in the meantime this gaming gig is kinda fun."
As always, there were things Misty and Larry said that crystallized stuff I've thought about but been unable to distill into words. But I accredit that to like-mindedness and the fact that they have been doing nothing but live by writing for the past fifteen or so years. They've had a long time to think about this stuff, and I'm deeply grateful for their sharing that.
And there was a moment of humble surprise when one of the con-goers recognized my name. That was very cool. Thank you, Caitlin.
And thanks, Show-Me Con. I had a blast.
Chapter 24 started. I think on the second pass of the book I now know what to do to Sensen to make him the character he needs to be. I spent time the last three days sketching him and asking him what it is he wants. It seems that he wants to absorb a part of my personality that I'm all too aware of -- the part that knows she can do something, but is afraid to. So, he can do that. I don't mind.
I think I'll go see The Village now.
