Back on the Air

Good morning! Sorry for my silence the past few days — I was busy getting ready for, and then recovering from, Norwescon, the big annual regional science-fiction convention. Not that I really saw anything of the convention itself — I was too busy prepping for a party I was running. Totally worth it.

I used to be on panels at Norwescon, but they haven't invited me to be a guest in years.  I think this next year I need to get in touch with them and remind them I'm still around.  I miss doing panels and readings there.  I feel like I'm only doing half my job when I'm just writing — the other half of it is getting out there and connecting with people.

Anyway, I apologize for being gone, although I have to say I may fall silent again next week.  I'm having surgery on May 3rd, and I may not be posting for a few days after that — or alternately, may start posting nonsense through a painkiller-induced haze.  I guess we'll see.

No link for you this morning — instead, I went looking for a quote to share, and found this one that I thought was rather lovely:

"You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you.  And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke." — Arthur Polotnik
