WorldCon Day 3

I’m just hitting the fast highlights because I’m beat.

I went to the Codex breakfast this morning. Fantastic to see familiar faces and to meet people that I’ve previously only know in two dimensions. Much fun. Then it was off to my workshop on how to give an effective reading. It had twenty-five or so people attending, which was a good size for this. It gave me a chance to do some audience participation.

From there to the SFWA board meeting, which bordered on fun. It’s nice to be working with a group of people towards a common goal and they are good people.

I had a massage tonight, which was a Very Good Thing. I hit the Tor party and the SFWA suite before giving up and deciding I was too tired and need to go to bed.

Which, really, I’m doing as soon as I finish typing this.

    That was a fabulous panel, Mary, the best I’ve attended thus far at the con (and I really mean that). It was great finally getting to meet you!

    Hope you are taking some time off after these two weeks. I’m exhausted reading about all the things you have done. :)

    Congrats on winning the Campbell, Mary! Especially notable for the fact that you haven’t had a novel published yet; pretty rare for it to go to a short story writer. Yay!
