I’ve had a productive couple of days, anyway. I sent off eight copies of Mortal Touch<\/i> to be considered for PMA’s Benjamin Franklin Awards<\/a>. I’d already submitted an entry for the Independent Publisher Book Awards<\/a>, but the Ben Franklins involve a bit steeper investment, both for the entry fee and the number of copies they require for the judges. (Not only that, but–I’m not joking, really!–the bunny ate half of the flyer I was sent for the Ben Franklins and I had to download the PDF application form online!) But those just went out. I just registered for two upcoming Boston-area conventions, Arisia<\/a> in January and Boskone<\/a> in February. I’m going to see if I can get a reading time at either or both, and I’ve gotten some good tips recently about promotional things I can be doing at the conventions. I’ve joined an organization for women who write fantasy, science-fiction and horror, Broad Universe<\/a>. My friend and fellow author Morven Westfield, who I ran into at World Fantasy Convention, is a member and spoke highly of them, and I attended the Broad Universe party and group reading. Every dime of this is tax-deductible, btw, which is kind of scary.<\/p>\n

Now I need to take a “workout break” and then get BLUM’s accounting books into serious shape. That’s the job I’ve been procrastinating on! But it can’t wait another second, because first, tax time is approaching, and second, I’m about to start production on two more books, and that means everything has to be straightened up. It’s just not very fun, even for an anal budgeter like me.<\/p>\n

On a lighter note, gakked from anderyn<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Electricity<\/b><\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
<\/center>
\nYou’re highly reactive, energetic, and super charged.
\nIf the occasion calls for it, you can go from 0 to 60 in a split second.
\nBut you don’t harness your energy unless you truly need to.
\nAnd because of this, people are often surprised by what you are capable of.<\/p>\n

Why you would be a good superhero: You have the stamina to fight enemies for days<\/p>\n

Your biggest problem as a superhero: As with your normal life, people would continue to underestimate you<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

What Should Your Superpower Be?<\/a><\/div>\n
