Sorry for the lack of posts, work has been busy as of late. Last week week we’ve had to replace the server while ordering a new back up (not fun, let me tell you).

Anyways, this past month has been a bit enlightening for my writing thanks to Camp Nanowrimo and Apollo Con.

Camp Nanowrimo:
Just like the original event, the camp was designed to take another 30 day month (in this case June), and throw a writer in to a fabulous writing frenzy. I’d decided to use this time to catch up on Two Cups of Romance since I haven’t done much with it since I started it last year.

Thankfully, I did double the word count of what I originally had, though I missed the 50k word count goal. I’m quite happy with the progress though, defined the relationship between the two main characters and introduced one of the main conflicts. Go me

Apollo Con:
As this was my first writers related convention, I was rather excited (enough to show up early the first day and help set up for the win!). It was a small con (at least compared to other conventions I went to) but the panels were okay. The best part of it was when I was in the Con Suite (a suite the con purchased for the weekend for con goers to relax, etc.) and talking to the other writers that were attending.

The rest of the con was fun, hijacked a panel, participated in a LARP for firefly as ell as a dnd-esque version for said story. And of course a few writing panels.

So what does this mean for my stories? Well, basically I’m splitting up my Trelona story into two books as I have two powerful story lines, which is great, just need to figure out to reweave it.

What short of conventions do you enjoy?

Also, for readers in Houston, I’ll be attending Spacey City Con in August hope to see some friendly faces there.
