The Flurry Before Departure

   Posted by: Michell    in Irreverent Muse

We’ve all heard the term “Perfect Storm”, right? Well, it feels like I am in the middle of one right now.

This Friday, I am leaving for Balticon in Hunt Valley, Maryland. I still have to pack my bags, ensure I’ve got business cards and books AND get my itinerary completely locked down. All that and, right now, there are renovations happening at the house that I didn’t think were coming for a couple more weeks. Oh yeah, AND my mother is moving and I’ve got to get my podcast obligations taken care of and some writing done.

Like I said, Perfect Storm (at least for me).

So, I’m busier than I would like, trying to deal with everything.

C’est la vie. After all, whining won’t get it done, right?

So, there you have it. I’m hoping to work my way into a few panels as a panelist and as a listener if I can’t. I’m going to interview a few people too, if possible.

And…I’m hoping I don’t forget anything. That means putting a list together. :)

Wish me luck and, if you are attending, say hello if you see me.

Onward, ho!

What a Difference a Couple Days Make

   Posted by: Michell    in Irreverent Muse

It always amazes me how much difference a couple days make. Monday, I was feeling a bit down for several reasons and today I am re-energized.

Manic-depressive, much?

The truth is, it doesn’t take much to drag you down. It also doesn’t take much to lift your spirits. In my case, I was notified that someone nominated Get Published for a Parsec award. For those of you who don’t know, Parsecs are podcasting awards. I have been fortunate to have been nominated every year Get Published has been out. I’ve even been short-listed a couple times. Maybe this will be the year!

This morning, I got an email from Katharina Bordet telling me that my short story “You Can Never Go Home Again” that was podcast by Every Photo Tells, has also been nominated.

Both are very cool bits of news that has brightened my week. There has also been some other good news that I can’t quite share yet.

So, I am closer to my normal for the first time in a while. Let the creativity kick back into high gear!

More news to follow.
