My son and I shoveled the drive this afternoon (we had about 7-8 inches of snow this morning). There's more to come later, but I figured it was better to get the worst cleared before it freezes overnight.
I'm looking forward to my first Farpoint Convention this weekend. I'm doing a few panels, and taking part in the two book signing sessions, so it should be a fun three days.
How about you?
What have you got lined up for this weekend?

If you bump into Steven H. Wilson, he is my publisher at Firebringer Press and the co-founder of Farpoint. Also, Bob Greenberger and Aaron Rosenberg are the co-creators and editors of the ReDeus series that I wrote for. Bob and Aaron are standard guests at Farpoint and the Shore Leave convention we do in August.
Do you have any discussion panels with these chaps? Also, Michael Jan Friedman and Howard Weinstein are two fantastic veteran writers and all around great guys who have helped me through the years.
So many great writers: Peter David, David Mack, the lovely Kelly Meding, etc. I hope you get the chance to meet all of the other writers, especially at the Book Fair on Friday night.
I started attending Farpoint in 1993 and this is only the second one I've missed. That and Shore Leave in August have been my traditional cons for 20+ years.
See you at Write Stuff?

I'm doing a panel with Kelly on Saturday morning, and a couple with Aaron and Michael later in the weekend (though I seem to be doing two panels at the same time on Saturday).
I'll be at the Write Stuff. I look forward to meeting you in person there :)

Last year, I was the writer liaison, so I coordinated the writers programming for Farpoint's 20th anniversary and it was the first time we had a book fair. So for many reasons, I feel very attached to the con.
We have house-guests coming tonight for the weekend. Couples date tomorrow night & then some help with the remaining unpacking. :D
