Eastercon

[hamletta]

Arrived in Harrogate for Eastercon (the British Science Fiction Convention). What was supposed to be 4 1/2 hours journey ended up being full six hours in rain and heavy traffic.

 

I am so glad I decided to come a day early. The con starts tomorrow but with the traffic I would probably only arrive in the evening (of course I would promise myself to leave very early but that would never happen).

 

I'm meeting my agent first thing in the morning. It will be nice to catch up and discuss both the current novel and the new one.

 

I will be moderating my very first panel on Sunday. It is kind of exciting and a little bit scary. Still, I feel better about being a moderator, because initially I was going to be on the panel. Only later I found out who the other panellists were and they are much more experienced than me including an Arthur C. Clarke award winner. So yeah, I'd rather be asking questions than answering them next to him like an equal.

 

By the way, I have downloaded Dragon voice recognition software trial I am trying to use it right now. I get very self-conscious about dictating so this is very awkward, but I do hope I will learn to use it because it's faster and more convenient. Or it should be once I get used to it, because dictating this note took me I think three times as long as it would have taken me to type it…
