Just seen in Salt Lake
Driving home the other day, I saw this sign and just HAD to turn around and get a picture of it:

Spaces still left for worldbuilding seminar
We still have about 11-15 spaces left for the worldbuilding seminar this Saturday, so if you were thinking you might come but weren’t sure if there’d still be room for you, be assured that we’ve got plenty of room. If Paypal was the trouble, at this point, just bring your check ($45 for an individual, … Read more
Testing
Updating my previous posts to get them to show up on LJ doesn’t seem to be working. At least it’s not that many posts to copy over, if it comes to that. Here’s a test post to see if the plugin is working correctly on cross-posting NEW entries, even if it’s not working on updating … Read more
Ramblings when I should be off reading the Maze Runner ARC or sleeping
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 … Read more
Provo Book Festival (& other recent events, including a reading cat)
Well, now that I’ve gotten my camera back up (I killed the battery Saturday, forgetting to upload the pictures while it was still hooked up for hours, and now I’ve finally gotten back to it), I will share with you some of the fun things that happened at the Provo Book Festival. I was really impressed. This was the first time I’ve been to it, though I’ve heard good things about it for a few years, and I must say, it was really cool to see how the kids who came were so excited to get involved with books, to see their favorite authors speak, and to be able to get books signed by them. There had to have been twenty or so local authors involved, and several illustrators as well.
My Conduit schedule, and other interesting goings-on that weekend
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 … Read more
The TBR pile
My desk is still groaning under the workload that I’m catching up on (finishing up another manuscript right now, about to send out the editorial letter, then on to more!), so I haven’t had much time to do much else. Hence the reason I haven’t posted in almost a week–not much to report. I’ll have … Read more
Speaking of social networking
I’ve decided to try out twittering. If you want to follow me, you can find me at http://twitter.com/stacylwhitman.
This just in: rubber chicken JUGGLING!
I’m just now going through my photos from Memorial Day weekend, including my Monday morning stroll through Folk Life, a festival they have here in Seattle every Mem. Day weekend. And what do I find? I knew I got shots of juggling, but little did I know that the chickens had invaded the juggling world, … Read more
