12/4/06: Walking the horse

I did get back on the horse, the day after my last entry, and I've written at least a few words every day since. It sucks, of course, but I'm learning not to let that bother me. I've done this before and I know it'll get better once I get my feet under me.

I've gotten some interesting writing-related emails in the last couple of weeks. A fellow from Australia wants to interview me for a podcast, and a guy from Milwaukee wants to make one of my stories into a student film. I'm willing to sell him the rights very cheap, for a limited period of time anyway, but I don't want to do it without some kind of contract and I haven't yet found a usable sample contract online. Any suggestions?

I've also been invited -- nay, importuned -- to be a guest at RadCon, so we're going to that.

Not much else to report. Day job. Chores. Square dancing. Went to the Symphony. Didn't go to the gym for almost two weeks, but clambered back on that horse too. You know -- stuff.

Radcon Bob is hard to resist. That man could sell a crappy used car to a used car salesman.

Oh, well, if you guys are going to RadCon then that makes it more tempting. We can explore the fleshpots of Pasco together. (I've been invited three years running,ghu alone knows why, and this year I seem not to have my usual conflict because Potlatch isn't in February.)

The weird thing is that we've never been before, since Kate's folks live in Kennewick.

RadCon has been described as a 2000-person gaming con with a 200-person writers' con stuck on the side. Writers who have attended speak highly of it. Although its web page is really discouraging (for example, it's 3 months before the convention and the top of the home page still lists the dates for last year's con) I'm going to give it a try.

Actually, the fact that I went to high school in that part of Washington State goes a long way towards explaining why we've never gone.

My parents, I like.
