Monday.

Fluff.

Speaking of @canconsffh.bsky.social , last year's starter pack for panelists, vendors and volunteeers was popular, so I made a new one for this year. Please tell me if you're on programming or helping out with Can*Con this year and would like to be added, or if you'd like to be removed.

Just going to have this as a daily affirmation stuck on my mirror.

This is just one of the many panels that's happening Oct 4 & 5 at the 6th annual Rainbow Space Magic. This free virtual con is for writers & readers of queer speculative fiction. Full schedule at www.rainbowspacemagi... #LGBT #writing #ScienceFiction #fantasy

GUESS WHO'S GOT CONS COMING UP AND FIRED UP THE OL' CANVA

We’ll have a wide selection of glitter cannons so I’m not convinced that’s enough time tbh.

Important tree update.

The long shadows of fall. 🍂🍁

In this landscape of cats, please note the Pumpkin blep.

So many amazing authors and stories!! Another must-get antho! 💖🎉

Whenever I text my brother after I told him I’d be writing, this is his reply. May his judgy face also inspire you (?) to write.

If you have bad credit, everyone knows. If you die, your estate has to contact every organization, medical facility, and business individually to let them know because obviously money is more important than life.

Important blep update.

Our party is *certainly* not currently split, too. Certainly not. *shifty eyes*

I went to the mall today and a lovely woman remembered being at one of my shows (with the Kymeras) and hearing me tell my Boudicca story which was SOME TIME AGO. It’s heartwarming to hear that the trauma is still vibrant 10+ years later. 💖 Made this performing storyteller’s day.

Cuddles.

Both Suzan and Jason have excellent threads on how to spot bad actors. I’d like to add that I’ve known lots of amazing and kind people who have self-exiled after realizing they’d supported a bad actor. Do better when you know better, but don’t leave. Most people get caught. Learn and stay. 💖

So, I still have a few Oath Breakers. But I’m out of Heirs of a Broken Land, and just generally running out of stock. Kerri found some extra anthologies and sent them along with an unsuspecting @brandoncrilly.bsky.social. Needless to say, I am very happy. 😄🥰💖

The author realizing she definitely did not order enough copies of Oath Breaker.

Day 1 of Ottawa Comic Con! (I meant to post this hours ago. My table is now more disheveled. Woot!)

This is so, so important. Value your career. 💖

I had the honour of playing Daggerheart with Mike as the GM, and their wisdom is always worth listening to! I still think about that one-shot from time to time. It was that well done and powerful. 💖

Oreo has been sick all week and finally ate and moved a bit today thanks to drugs. His brother Guimauve has been so concerned that he hasn’t galumphed once this week. I look forward to them destroying our house again. Get better quick, baby cookie! 💖😞💖

If you live in Milton, ON -- there's a new SFF writers group starting up. www.facebook.com/events/75553...

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...

Had my parents not both smoked, chances are high they’d be living much different (and better) lives now. If you know anyone in QC who qualifies (alive or deceased), share info. Nicotine peddlers have been knowingly poisoning people for yrs. Make them hurt. share.google/NN0xWqrnOerQ...

Find out at 7:30 p.m. ET in D&D with I&B:Eberron-Oracle of War! www.twitch.tv/arvaneleron

This hurts my heart. If you’re in Edmonton, please help if you can! 💖

Brought the @canconsffh.bsky.social crew to our new venue today and everyone is excited and that makes me excited all over again and I can’t wait to welcome everyone to our new home! 💖 We have so many fun plans! SOME (most) INVOLVING GLITTER!! ✨

This interview was really fun as we discussed performance storytelling, crafting stories from personal experiences, and creative influences. Give it a listen to inspire your own personal retellings!

Still looking for someone in the Ottawa/Perth/ Westport area who can show me how to use Affinity Publisher 2. I have read the manuals, I have watched the videos and I am still completely stumped.

Rec request particularly from Ottawa folk! I've been tasked with selling a money collection: coins + bills, circulation + non-circulation, mostly Canadian. I'd love to bring them to a reputable buyer and just offload at once. No ebay, no auctions, just want it gone and fairly paid for. 😂 Any recs?

without downloading any new images, where are you mentally?

I missed my job-quitting-versary! Aug 1 marked 11 yrs since I left 9-5 to freelance and try to live from my writings! It's been a heck of a journey and I've got scrapes and bruises and bled enough to be anemic, BUT, I'm pleased to report that I am currently making like 95% of my $ from words.

This is going to be amazing! 💖

My dad has dementia and lives alone in a small town 1.5 hours away from me. The Ontario health care system has covered most holes when it comes to his care, alleviating stress and demands on me and my brother. Except for one massive hole: medical tests in Ottawa at 7 am. Why?

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now represented by Sara Megibow of Megibow Literary Agency! So many plans are already in the works. Can't wait to share all the fun with you! 💖🎉

Great time to buy a completed #scifi or #fantasy series! My House of Styx/House of Saints duology is there! A Godfather story in the clouds of #Venus!

Yay!!! See you there! 💖🎉

Anyway hi! I am at the @edmontonin2030.bsky.social bid virtual party today! Which is 3 - 7 pm PST, or 4-8 MST if you are in (say) Edmonton. I will be hangin out with the Can*Con folks for their panel and I also have a reading! See you there! www.edmontonin2030.org/bidparty
