I now have a couple panels on Friday, so if you don’t make it there today, there’s still Friday and Saturday. I’m not even going to format this–I have to run out the door to BYU.
Thursday
1:00 PM
- Defining Children’s Literature: What are a children’s book, a middle grade reader, a YA novel and an adult [...]

There’s a great little science fiction/fantasy convention (well, they call it a “symposium”) at BYU every year in February called Life, the Universe, and Everything. I’ve been going as a panelist for several years (I was an editor guest of honor a while back, too), and I highly recommend it for writers and fans who [...]

I forgot to take many pictures at World Fantasy. (I know! Me! Calling myself a “photographer”!) Plus, my laptop’s hard drive is literally so full that it won’t let me upload what pictures I did take. So you won’t get to see all the attending Utahns with author L.E. Modesitt and agent Joshua Bilmes (taken [...]

Today’s Writing Excuses covers conventions you (writers) should be attending, but they didn’t really have time to cover conventions and conferences specifically geared for children’s books (and I actually am not sure if any of them have been to anything except the occasional BYU Writing for Young Readers). I’ve been meaning to post something about [...]

Not really much to post about. I had a great time at Conduit seeing friends and talking books. Very nice Schlock Mercenary launch party, for which I dropped in and took some pictures. I’ll be downloading those straight to Sandra, who will probably post them on her LJ or Howard’s blog or both. I’m not [...]

Note that Howard Tayler of Schlock Mercenary is the Guest of Honor at this year’s Conduit. Along with that, the Taylers are hosting a book launch party at the show for the latest Schlock book. Head on over to Howard’s site for all the details.
For you YA-type and writer-type people, here are some interesting panels [...]

For the last couple of days I’ve been at BYU’s Life, the Universe, and Everything, sniffling my way through several panels. The zombie cold seems to be lightening up–it was a whole lot worse yesterday than it was today, though my nose still feels like it’s a drippy faucet.
So far I’ve had [...]
Stacy | February 19, 2009
I had a cold last weekend, but Monday and Tuesday it seemed to be clearing up. I was feeling mostly better, running around doing errands and seeing friends and getting work done.
Then I woke up today, and it was back with a vengeance. I think it died but now I have a zombie cold.
So I’ll [...]

It seems that FB has at least temporarily rolled back their terms of service to the previous, slighly less draconian terms until they can figure out why tens of thousands of people were protesting and even deleting their accounts. We’ll see what happens.
On to other news. Suddenly life has gotten really busy! Especially with LTUE [...]

…I am practically spamming the friends boards today. I forgot to mention that next week is Life, the Universe, and Everything, a local convention that is FREE! and always a good learning experience.
Note that Tracy Hickman and his wife, Laura, are the guests of honor, and special guests include my author Rebecca Shelley (who wrote Red Dragon Codex as R.D. Henham), Brandon Mull, Howard Tayler, Brandon Sanderson, James Dashner, Dave Wolverton, and L.E. Modesitt, Jr. I appear to be part of the "and many more!" participating guests (in previous years they’ve posted my name, at least), but I seem to be in good company–those joining me on various panels include such awesome authors as Mette Ivie Harrison, Kristin Randle, Jessica Day George, and another of my authors, Clint Johnson (Green Dragon Codex, also writing as R.D. Henham). I’ll still be on a goodly number of panels (six, to be exact), so if you’re interested in writing science fiction and fantasy–for adults or children–it’s a great place to get some good information without having to pay an entrance fee.
Panels I’ll be on (notice that these times are subject to change, so you’ll want to check the final schedule next week:
