Earlier this week I posted about my positive experience attending this year's #WisCon online. Yesterday I posted about the unexpected psychological impacts of attending. Ironically, the topic of next week's podcast is self-doubt, but I didn't expect to have new, raw material to talk about. Writing: come for the journey, stay for the book. Maybe?

I did a panel at #WisCon about writing fight scenes, and it turns out 75 minutes wasn't enough. My brain wants to keep going.'

I haven't had a sit-all-day job in over a year, and just spent three and change days sitting all day for #WisCon online. My butt is telling me its out of practice.

Probably a good thing, but it means I'll be skipping a party to go take a walk or something.
