Success!

I haven’t written up a baycon report yet but I do want to make note that the program book I put together was a huge success. It looked pretty good. There are editing issues I would like to have been able to take care of but if you are not obsessive about detail like my profession is, it looks damn near perfect.

I got a lot of positive comments on it at the con and have been showing it off like a kid with a picture her parents put on the refrigerator.

The powers that be are begging me to do the program book for baycon 2008. The theme is Pirates. Seems that people involved with Baycon have been circulating a list of my buttons on how to get me to do something. I am not sure I can resist this one.

While I have not promised anything, yet, I have done a large amount of research and plans as. I am talking with my command structure and have support so far for my ideas.

This has been a major deal for me personally and professionally and I am grateful for it.

Edit: There is a copy online if people are interested in seeing what I am talking about and didn’t make it to the con to see the original. It is a 96 page pdf.

Running away for a rest

I ran away to Depoe Bay OR and am spending time with my Dad and his wife. I flew out Thursday and will come back Saturday. Too short a time but it is a good thing. I am trying to do the rest thing since my back hurts but my dad and I are busy swapping ideas and working on websites. I do make a point of looking out the window at the beautiful ocean and appreciate it whenever I think about it.

Sorry Crow-mama, I did come through Portland but there was not enough time to say hi.

quicky update

someone mentioned yesterday that i haven’t posted in a while so she didn’t know how i was doing. This is a quicky to let people know i am fine.

things are better than they were, there are even some bright spots. but there are still negatives that need work and i am focusing on them. i am having a hard time with people saying “yay! things are better,” because it feels like it is invalidating the stuff that is still hard to deal with and I have to bring that back to the front.

Everything feels as hard as before but i know that is a perception thing. i am not as needy as before and am working on building my internal resources.

my internet connection at home is currently all messed up. it looks to be a problem with my laptop modem and i have someone at MMG working on it. i am also doing a lot of graphic type work for local conventions so while i am not making any money, i am rather busy.

i do need to acknowledge that many good things have come my way. i have a little work. i am back to being able to work. the stuff i did for baycon was successful. added together, my experiences at con end up on the positive side and i can use some things as learning experiences for the resource building that i am doing.

not as quick as i thought but a good overview. (man, it is hard to write in all lower case)
