Still astounded that I got through watching 22 events from the #Cymera literary festival. For the last fortnight I have been sleeping typically over 12 hours a day, and struggling hugely to stay awake at other times. All due to my latest #neuro illness flare. But I kept nibbling at the videos, usually late at night, and got to see and enjoy masses. Chuffed. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2023/07/03/watching-the-cymera-writing-festival-on-catchup/ #bookFestivals #books #reading #scifi #fantasy #horror #writing #Edinburgh #Cymera23

Just blogged my thoughts about watching online the #Cymera writing festival in Edinburgh. Hugely positive experiences. I got to watch 22 different author events on catchup! Wow. Will definitely be back next year. More details in my blog post. Cymera celebrates scifi, fantasy and horror writing. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2023/07/03/watching-the-cymera-writing-festival-on-catchup/ #Cymera23 #books #reading #bookFestivals #Edinburgh #writing #authors #scifi #fantasy #horror #literaryFestivals #Scotland

This year I was lucky to find out in time about the #Cymera festival of #fantasy, #scifi and #horror #writing in #Edinburgh. It took place in early June and I bought a digital weekend pass. This let me watch events streamed live, and after on catchup. Now watching loads before 3 July. Already enjoyed Adrian Tchaikovsky and others talk about cityscapes in fantasy fiction, and Aliette de Bodard and Ann Leckie talk about space operas. With many more things still to watch. #Cymera23 #books #reading
Now having a lovely Sunday catching up on #Cymera23 panels. I love their weekend online pass, such a great concept!
