mrissaCon report is up on my real journal. No pictures yet.
My brain has clicked over to it being September and desperately wants to wear jeans and sweaters and jackets. It is too warm for those things. It is almost always too warm for those things in early September in Minnesota. Silly brain.
I am feeling much better than I was last night -- DayQuil is our friend -- but it's not without drawbacks. I have the attention span of a gnat now. A very young gnat. A gnat toddler. Yes. I'm going to get a bit of everything done, I think, and not much of anything, and I suppose that had better be fine, because it's what I've got at the moment.
The thing about WorldCon is that it made me think about marketing for a bit, and it's very, very hard to keep momentum or optimism when you have to think about marketing. Or when I have to. Now I'm thinking about stories again, which is much better, and have a short-list of marketing-related tasks I will accomplish in the next week, and that's all right too because I can just do it and not think about it too much. Right? Okay then.

Date: 2004-09-10 04:33 pm (UTC)I just read your Worldcon report -- and you're right; I talk like machine-gun fire if I'm hyper :/. If, umm, you were there for the whole reading and you hit the Loud Rant About Morons which wasted about 5-7 minutes of the reading, then, umm. Well. I was a little hyper.
I try to remember to talk slowly.
As for marketing: It's so much better not to think about it when writing. You'll eventually develop the odd periscope which exists for writers, by which you can scope out marketing-like things and then come back down quickly.
But it always takes me about 3 days to recover from a Worldcon. Usually, I have the excuse of being sick; sometimes I just have the big mental crash. Glad to hear you're feeling better!
