FENCON VI is drawing to a close. It’s been an interesting little con. I haven’t written as much as I wanted to while here, but have had a really good time meeting some new folks and spending some time talking with friends I don’t see nearly enough.

My hunger for writing flash is back. I think I might try to spend some time [after the novel is finished] working on a collection of flash stories set around some sort of theme. I’m not sure what that theme is, but it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with something.

There were some really great ideas on marketing tossed around in the flash panel. I’m thinking about putting some of these ideas to use here on the site. I know in the next year I want to put together an illustrated chapbook. I have an idea who I want to use as an artist.

Added later: Here’s a good way to make a nice single page chapbook. I think I might take one of my previously published flash stories and put it in this format with a nice external and internal illustration. I want to use it as a type of calling card, but I need to put a few things in place first.

Well, I’m going to take advantage of the two hours I have left in the room here and try to get more of the short story down, then I need to go say goodbye to everyone and try to spend some time with my kiddo before taking her back to her mother’s house.

OK, here’s my mini con report:

The panel on really bad movies, writing flash fiction, and the workshop on making armor patterns were made of awesome. I didn’t really attend much else. People keep telling me to get on the panels myself, but I don’t quite feel legit yet. I want my SFWA membership first.
