Weekend, at last, more or less

catherineldfSirens was very pleasant and relaxing. I heartily recommend it for anyone looking for a female-centric convention (transfriendly too, far as I could tell) that is intimately small and book-focused. I had some nice discussions, went dancing, talked about books, practice fan signals, talked about more books, but you get the idea. Glad I got to meet some of the many folks who I only knew from online and to hang out with them for a bit. I loved Tatter Cover Bookstore too! Excellent trip all around and I would definitely consider going back in future years!
This week has been fairly nuts and the weekend will be more so. Today, I met with my soon to be new attorney who will work on Queen of Sword Press contracts with me (as opposed to the other attorney who's working on my LLC and associated licensing). I must say that I now have a whole new vision of what "Lawyering up" actually entails. I like them both, but it is a tad intimidating to sort through. So I'm taking a legal issues for writers class at the Loft Literary Center tomorrow to demystify some of it. The copywriting class of a few weeks ago went well so I'm optimistic about this one too.
Off to the Twin Cities Book Festival after that, then catching the always terrific Theatre Unbound with their new production Title IX. This comes out just in time for our WNBA team, the MN Lynx to take their third national championship in 5 years; we caught one of the final games and Jana went to the last one, so we're less fair weather fans than our norm (one game a year, depending on our schedules, but we go regardless of whether or not they're winning). The Lynx got a dance party from Prince, a call from POTUS, an invite to the governor's mansion and a tickertape parade through Minneapolis. Let's hope they also get raises, given what female professional athletes actually earn on average.
Sunday will be a trip to the MN Arboretum Apple House, sundry errands and a Mom visit, to be followed by writing. I'm beginning to freak out about Arcana, which will be my first GOH appearance. I have a reading with the other GOH on Thursday night at 6:30 at DreamHaven and publicity has not been spectacular. Add to that, another con scheduled for the same weekend and I've entered the spiral of mortal terror that says I will be looking at near empty rooms and trying to be entertaining for a loooonnnggg time. Here's hoping I'm completely wrong. I also need to finish a new story to read, or so i hope. Whee!
Off to bed now. More bulletins to follow.
