Comments are welcome whenever you get a chance - even if that's hours or days later. Feel free to jump into whatever sub-threads intrigue you. More discussion is the point of the salon posts!
Got a question you're trying to sort out, or a thing you'd like to discuss? Lots of thoughtful interesting people with a wide range of interests show up here! Feel free to ask about things you're thinking about or trying to solve, as well as other kinds of chat.
Topic of the week
I am still at "Wow, May was exhausting" (not dire, but you know, I don't get to use this icon enough, so icon) though I have a little hope June will be easier.
(For values of 'easier' that involve driving an hour and change each way to present at a conference on Monday. This is a "I have 15 minutes as part of a panel discussion, plus I need to be social at lunch" thing at least, so the prep is not huge.)
My question for the day: What are you looking forward to this summer? What would you like to be looking forward to? (Summer is not my best season, because wow, do Jenetts not do well in heat, but July has some great plans in it.)
What I've been up to:
More progress on the Doctor Who watch (I'm up to Clara's second episode as an actual companion), a tiny bit of knitting, and a lot of pokinmg at our new catalog options.
House rules:
This is a public post, feel free to encourage other people to drop by, just note the 'if posting anonymously, include a name people can call you in responses' rule.
* Consider this a conversation in my living room, only with a lot more seating. I reserve the right to redirect, screen, and otherwise moderate stuff, but would vastly prefer not to have to.
* If you don't have a DW account or want to post anonymously, please include a name we can call you in this particular post. (You can say AnonymousOne or your favourite colour or whatever. Just something to help keep conversations clear.)
* If you've got a question or concern, feel free to PM me.

Date: 2018-06-02 11:43 am (UTC)I'm finishing the rough draft of this book, and I'm looking forward to that and to the other projects I can do (including revising this book!) once that's done.
One of the reasons I'm trying to get this book drafted before Fourth Street is that I'm looking forward to Fourth Street in June, Readercon in July, and a trip to Copenhagen and Reykjavik in August, so not having the first draft of this book incomplete and hanging over my head for any of those interludes would be AWFULLY NICE. But I'm looking forward to all of them.
I would like to be looking forward to rest, but: see above.

I look forward to further comments about exciting travel!
