The last time I did a full convention was a lot easier. I’m just sayin’. But in fairness, those earlier conventions were typically smaller and shorter con than Worldcon, I stayed on site the whole weekend instead of commuting 90 minutes each way, and they were all in the pre-Pandemic era so I was *mumble

Listen, I promise you I will start updating this blog more frequently. Really. Things have been ri-DONK-ulous lately. Let’s get everyone up to speed. Starting with the huge news.

I haven’t been writing much lately. Not blog posts, not short fiction, not novels. Nothing. And I’ve been beating myself up over it pretty much any time I think about it.

It’s always this way–as we approach Halloween season, I fall down the rabbit hole of horror. Since my cohort (who is not a big horror fan) is in classes several nights a week, that gives me a lot of time to explore some of the nooks and crannies of the genre. I like to mix
