Worldcon Wrap-up

I just returned from Worldcon, which was a roaring success for myself and several of my friends that attended.

Honestly, I don't want to talk about most of it until after something has come out of my contacts (anything at all: offer, rejection, rewrite request, etc.). So I'm just going to leave it at that. It was a great time.

I did get to meet some great people, including several up-and-coming authors, a couple agents, a couple editors, and a couple published authors. The most exciting of the authors was Patrick Rothfuss. I still haven't read Name of the Wind, but Michele has. She's probably the biggest fantasy snob out there and she loved it, so Name of the Wind is definitely on my list. Patrick has an admirable beard, by the way.

I can't remember if I mentioned this in the last post and I'm too lazy to look: the working title of the Hero project is "Drums of War."

I updated my Library. I've gotten in some good reading, and my list of books to read in the near future has gotten longer. My long-distance list is much, much longer than that, rest assured.
