Apr. 20th, 2010 11:25 pmJust got my rejection from Beneath Ceaseless Skies. I LIKE them. They gave me some actual constructive feedback that I can use. <3
Also, Karin Lowachee is going to be at WisCon! I wrote a review of her book, the Gaslight Dogs, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dmp interviewed her. I must take my copy with me to get her signature.
I think I'm going to have to shift my flight - I leave Madison at 2pm on Monday, 31st... but there is still stuff going on at WisCon then! I doubt I'll make it to the Dead Dog Party, but I want to spend as much time there as possible, so I'm going to see if I can change the time of my flight... probably not without a hefty fee. Sigh.
I'm test-packing a bag for my US trip - might I be able to make it through the entire thing with just one shoulder bag? It seems possible! Because I would really like to avoid lugging around the roller bag if it's at all possible.
I'm arranging to take the Amtrak Train from New Brunswick, NJ, out to Chicago, and from there take a bus to Madison or Stevens Point. Stevens Point is where my dad's friend lives, and she's agreed to let me stay over for the time in between cons. The only problem is that I don't really know how to get to Madison from Stevens Point - turns out there are no buses directly to Madison from Stevens Point. Kerry from Steam Century offered to take me down to Madison if I can get to Portage the night before WisCon starts - NakamaCon is the same weekend (as is World Steam Expo, which Parliament and Wake wanted me to attend), and if I have nothing on during the evening that Steam Century is hosting their event, I'll pop in to hang out.
Working on a new short story right now. It's not coming. Then again, a lot of things are not coming. =( My analysis of Gaslight Dogs and Alchemy of Stone should be finished by now but I can't seem to bring myself to write them. I think I need a time out.
In the meantime, the cloth I bought to make pockets for my pinafore mod didn't work out, so I've abandoned that idea. I did, however, use the tulle for a handsome bowtie at the back. Pictures soon!
