Sunday, July 27, 2003So cool. The convention is over...it was not a roaring success, but it was pretty cool. The guests were all amazing, I learned so much...I tried to log all the chats, but here and there when something malfunctioned I lost it...which is a serious shame, since we plan to edit and post the transcripts at Gotta Write. But, I'm happy because it's one less thing I have to think about for a while. I over reached myself a little, and so I'm carefully trying to get each thing done, then pushed aside so I can get back into a writing schedule. I am sorry I forgot about the Blog a Thon. Next year, I think I'll try and participate. I think I skipped worrying bout whether to do it or not because I figured I'd have a snow bird's chance in Florida of getting a sponsor. Next year, if there is one, I'll do it...I'd love to pitch in and support the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Yesterday I also got a wonderful email from an author I reviewed. The fact she saw my email addy, remembered my reviews, and decided to take the time to say thanks made me so very happy. Speaking of silly fun, I saw a little bubble bottle I got from the last wedding I went to sitting on the kitchen sink, so I spent several minutes blowing bubbles up at the florescent light. I forgot how jewel like the colors on bubbles are...how you can have fifty or sixty bubbles (I'm long winded but hey, you knew that) at once, all a different perfect color. If you're wondering about the bolds it's because I thought, if I'm going to cram a lot of topics in one post, a nice girl might make it easier for you to skip the boring parts. :D Just trying it. You know I'll forget to do it the next time anyway. Let's see...oh, yes. Some smart *** has harvested my email again, using it as a reply to address. Some of you are already nodding your heads, but some of you might not know this: sometimes a spammer will use your email in the reply to section. This means, he'll shoot off a whole bunch of emails, and instead of him getting the bounced "no longer a valid email address" emails, or the "God will deal with your someday" (actually got one of those the last time this happened) emails, you get them. I take a lot of steps to try and prevent this, but if you're going to join things, etc, you need to have at least one email out there. Sigh. I may have to whittle down the use of this email address.
