AWP

Back from AWP. Slammed, of course, and LJ is slow-loading today, I presume due to the crisis in Crimea. (Hint: if you were ever in favor of US invasions of Haiti, Afghanistan, or Iraq, try not to break your hand wagging your finger at the Russians.)

Anyway, I went to AWP this weekend, and had fun. People liked my panel talk, and I got what I believe to be the traditional compliment: "You should publish that." I hung out with the mainstream science fiction people, the radicals, the bizarros, and the kids at Westconn who are launching an online journal called Poor Yorick. (I've already made them agree to meet with me at the next residency to talk fundraising and paying their contributors.) Met Le Guin too!



And I was especially sad to miss this event.

Mostly I tweeted everything. I also picked up a few books, including MFA vs NYC, about which I will have more to say in the near future.
