If I have, in recent days, been remiss about my duties to this blog, I can only beg the kind indulgence of our readers. These are interesting times, though not so proverbially as to cause concern. Indeed, the news is largely good. As I approach my thirty-seventh birthday, I look forward to moving to a better home in the near future, and, Friday morning, depart for two weeks overseas in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It is intended that the journey should be blogged at Skipping Across the Pond, but we’ll see how that goes.
Meanwhile, as far as the important things are concerned … um … let me clear my throat.
(Ahem.)
Less than a week remains to save $75 on your registration fee for SCWC LA8. Be sure to check the latest updates, including writers, editors, agents, and specialists signed on for the show in Newport Beach, September 24-26, 2010.
I missed you all in February, to my deep regret, but rumors are flying even in my own little corner of the Universe that I might make the September conference, and thus can genuinely say I hope to see you all there. And if fate should keep me trapped up here in the Pacific northwest, fear not, I will live with the wound. Still, I think it fair to say that MSG, Wes, Edwin, and everyone else at SCWC would hope to see you in Newport Beach, as well. Or, perhaps I should correct myself: They expect to see you there. So what are you waiting for? Save yourself some money and sign up today. It’s, like, you know, a 19% discount, if I recall correctly, and June 1 is the deadline.
Don’t be pathetic and make excuses like I do. And don’t go making MSG sad. We anxiously await to hear from you, and I’ll send Decker to your house if we don’t.
