The WisCon Chronicles books are just awesome. Bring a piece of Wiscon home with you, whether you attended that year or not!

This year's "will focus on disability issues, disability in SF/F/H, and fans with disabilities."

Go here for the full details!

Hey, haven't forgotten Livejournal exists. Just one of those phases where I don't post anything and then even stop reading flists.

Re: Clarion Write-a-Thon. I need to figure out who I owe reviews to and ask them what they want me to review. I know, I know. In the end, though I intended to write 6 stories, I wrote 2. Which is an improvement over 0! It's like.. infinitely more than double 0. So far the first one has been rejected twice.. in both cases probably for being too long. Which is ironic because A) I already cut it down quite a bit! And B) I don't write long stories! As my school English teachers, at least one of them, told me, I am terse. Too terse in the opinion of English teachers. Oh, the other story is still in a mix of longhand and Google Doc. I need to get that into a cohesive whole in a single medium. And edit it. And start sending it out.

Now, the big thing. School! I started library school. At San Jose State. Only not at San Jose State, because it's online of course. One day I will be Noah Wyle's character from The Librarian. Not simply by being a librarian, but by having tons of master's degrees and PhDs. Because degrees are cool.

Speaking of... still a tad behind on Torchwood. I will probably have some thoughts to share on it once I finish watching the whole series/season/whatever it is.

New shows start soon and I don't even know what I'm watching. Except that it WILL include House and probably include Biggest Loser. I'll take suggestions. I should probably drop some of the silly reality shows.. watching way too many auction/storage unit/picker shows. Reclaim some time for reading, doing homework, and stuffs.

If you're looking for me doing stuff, you can find me on Facebook, reviewing stuff and discussing Nebula novels on Triple Take and posting book-related and library-related stuff on my new blog, Fledgling Librarian.

I started a professional writing blog/site, but I feel like I need more than a couple publishing credits before I start using it. Or maybe that's an excuse and really I'm just distracted by the new library blog.

So, yea, now you're all caught up with me, I guess. Maybe if I'm feeling wordy, I'll talk about OSC or #yesgayya at some point.

I know there are other free web-based Email providers I could be using, but Yahoo! (classic) tends to work well for me. Except when it dumps things into the Bulk folder that it shouldn't! I received a reply to a query and only thought to check the Bulk folder today. I had a response in there since Monday! Grrr.

Not sure of my chances on this submission, as it's not exactly filling a niche that's not filled in the anthology already. But it's a story I'd already written, so it's not like I can turn the vampire into a zombie. Vampires are sexy. Zombies are gross. :)
