Five things make a post. (Where does that phrase come from? We need a Wikipedia for the Internet.)
1. I am all done with IB forever for the rest of my life. As much as I grew fond of it in the last couple of weeks, I am glad to see it gone.
2. Wiscon! Just a week away now. I will be on one (1) panel, to wit:
Young Writer Q&A
Sun 2:30 - 3:45PM
Conference 4
Kelly Jones (M), Vylar Kaftan, Naomi Kritzer, Alena McNamara, Diana Sherman
If you're a writer under age 18, you may have a set of questions that most writing 101 books and panels don't typically answer. Should you mention in cover letters that you're a freshman in high school? Is there a way to mention your fiction writing in your college applications if you haven't actually sold anything? Should aspiring writers major in English? Where can you find people who will give you feedback on your writing without being patronizing? This panel is designed for young writers, college–age and under. (Panelists may be older, but we all started young.)
(I am not older.)
3. My "secrets" tag has been being used to denote posts which are about the Novel I am writing. For a long time it was a Notanovel, because my brain freaks out with all the rules about What Novels Must Do and What Novels Must Be if I admit that I am Writing A Novel. Now it is 20k words long and it is time for it to grow up and be a real novel.
4. I am, for once in my life, dressing up. I am even wearing high heels. I am, in fact, going to prom. I am not constructing my mental scenarios for the Perfect Prom Night. My feet will get sore, and I will spend a lot of time being bored and/or annoyed, but it will be okay.
5. I have registered for Fourth Street Fantasy convention.
Bonus number 6 is a secret.
