I went to Edge-Lit again!
Monday, 16 July 2018 12:45 pmHello my darlings!
On the 14th, I was at Edge-Lit, which I THINK counts as my local con? (I keep going "Ah yes, Nine Worlds, best and most local con!" while Edge-Lit glares behind me, like I am the living embodiment of that one meme.) It was pretty good!
( Cut for yelling about cons! )
All in all, it was a pretty good day! I always feel really... I dunno, energised? When I go to workshops and learn something, especially when it's something practical like marketing. (I am the sort of nerd who'd love to do a creative writing course that had modules on business and marketing, because it would be REALLY USEFUL. I don't know where you'd find such a thing, unless maybe Nottingham Writer's Studio does something like that. ... I just want to be taught useful things, okay.) POSSIBLY I should have booked today off work as a recovery day, but to be honest with you Sundays in the holidays are SUPPOSED to be quiet? Like if I talk to two customers in the entire day I feel justified making an "I need a lie-down" joke levels of quiet. EXCEPT that today has been the infinite drama of "all of the libraries are short-staffed so we need to musical chairs some staff around" so... That was exciting? I'm typing this in one of the tiny libraries on a different campus, where half the library is closed and there are TWO WHOLE STUDENTS in here. ... It's nice! But now I need a lie down.
