No Readercon Either
I just accepted another writing job with a pretty tight deadline in mid-July, so it looks like I won't have time for Readercon either this year. Sorry about that, I was looking forward to seeing a bunch of you there, but right now it's more important for me to make money than to spend it.

It feels weird not to be going to any conventions this year. No World Horror, no World Fantasy, no Stokers, no Necon, and now no Readercon. Ah well, see you all next year!

You know I'm missing most of Readercon, right? You don't have to go to all these contortions just to avoid me!

I will carry a picture of you taped over my heart.

Seriously, writing gigs are good. And I hope to be in NYC again sooner rather than later.

I will take a picture of him with a picture of you!

And - why the fuck is there no NYC BitterCon? There are more than enough writers in this area to have some kind of informal summer gathering. I mean, really.

At least I know with a 100% certainty that I'll see you next year at the Melbourne Worldcon!

No cons? What are they going to do without you? Are you sure this doesn't have to do with those super balls?

Conventions give you a thrill, but conventions don't pay your bills. Drag. We'll miss you.

Aww. Good luck with the project.

ETA Tremblay & I have double beds if that makes a difference. Lots of room....

Bad news: No NECON for me either this year :(

Good news: Have a non-fiction writing gig due mid-July, which should put some more $$ in my WHC2010 account...Brighton or bust!

I doubt I'll be at Brighton, but I'm looking forward to Austin.
