Write Every Day, August Day #10

[auroracloud]

Long con day behind me. It actually went much better with the panels today, probably because there was so much more programme going on that people were spread out more. I got into almost every panel I wanted, and really, I probably should have done a bit less of them, because I'm really tired now. But I did get some time to hang out with friends and collect ribbons and generally lounge about in the fannish spaces. Tomorrow I plan to take it a little easier with the programme. But it's generally been good. I enjoyed all the panels I went to, but the best one was the first one, about historical fantasy (including Heather Rose Jones, Juliet Marillier, Aliette de Bodard etc.). A really interesting topic and great contributions from the panelists.

I walked past the George R.R. Martin signing queue an hour before the signing would begin, and it was already epic.

Writing

With all the con stuff, I didn't do much writing, but I sneaked in a bit of work on my Rare Pair fic in my notebook during a quiet moment in the con Fan Lounge. I wrote about 100 words more at home, but now my brain is just shutting down. At least I'm getting towards the end of the first draft.

Checking in for both days 9 and 10 here: still working on the app, writing and rewriting and adding references. Nothing exciting otherwise.

Glad you're enjoying the con!

It sounds like you had a very good, if tiring, con day. Yay! :-)

I have had a long day. I have a lot of plates spinning at once right now, and it's just too much sometimes. For that reason, I'm counting writing essay questions for my students for the fall as my writing for the day. In its own way, it's creative, and it was certainly mentally taxing; my brain felt tired when I finished them.

I finishing fixing my current slavefic chapter and got to post it, and then managed around 500 words on chapter 54.
