Hey guys! I’m having a lot of fun here at DragonCon. I am having a small problem sending up a few flickr pictures but I’m working on it. I’ve been out of the room alot so I didn’t have a chance to really update you guys like I wanted yesterday.
I went to a few panels including one that was with the Ghost Hunters. Jay and Grant were stuck on a plane so it was just Steve and Brian but they were totally funny and it was a good panel even without Jay and Steve. I may go to one they are having today that all of them should be at. I also tried to go to a few writing panels. I hate to say it but they were fairly basic so I didn’t stay through them.
I did however, go to one in the Goth track about erotica in supernatural fiction. That panel rocked! It was started when I got there so I went and sat on the floor in the middle of the room in front of a pillar. I had on my short little plaid skirt, my “bite me” t-shirt, and my kick ass boots and I was high on confidence. LOL Apparently I just need to walk around in those boots all the time. I’m “F*ck em’ if they don’t like me” Kimi in them apparently. I have a little sway in my hips and a smile on my face and kinda just do my thing when I wear them. LOL
So anyway, I plopped myself down and smiled at the panel. I got to ask them a few questions, including one about if they ever lost sleep over using a similar idea that’s been in another author’s book. I find myself wanting to write some of the same types of things that I’ve read and it overwhelms me to try to think of something new and origional. Their advice was don’t try and come up with a new idea…come up with a new twist to the idea. Duh, why didn’t I think of that. ๐
After the panel, I went up and talked with one of the Authors. I don’t have her card on my or I’d put her name and link up. I’ll do it later. Anyway, she was really cool and talked to me for like 20 mins. I haven’t had a talk like that since high school and it was really cool to talk to someone else who “gets” what I’m talking about when I say my characters won’t talk to me. LOL She reminded me that I use to be a member of Romance Writers of America cause she belongs and had suggested them as a resource. They also triggered a really cool idea for the basis of a series. After I flesh it out a bit more I’ll write up a blurb to whet your appatite! But the point is, you can stop worrying…I think I might be able to start writing again.
I’ve got quite a few panels I’m doing today on writing and supernatural things. I’m really looking foward to it. Daddy will be doing security for a party that’s happening today. Unfortunately, a few of the better panels I want to see are during it so I won’t get to go and hang with him.
To wrap up, Tat and I went out dressed up again last night. We hit the green room and saw the guys of Andromeda there. We didn’t talk to them but it was pretty cool to oogle them up close. LOL After that between trying to locate Daddy among the costumed horde I drugรย Tat around the lobby and had her take pictures of me with pretty costumed girls. Honestly, scince I was the designated walker last night, to amuse myself since Tat was amused and tipsy, I made her my photographer. *grin*
We came back to the room and waited 2 and a half hours while we got the wrong pizza. There was a serious miscommunication problem between us and them about what we wanted. End result…no pizza, a contrite driver and an annoyed manager. But we got free bread sticks and probably a free pizza tonight if we want it.
I spoke to Adam on his breaks and caught up just a little bit, as much as you can while he was on break and you text message. LOL He has the weekend off and I’m really relieved. He deserves and really needs the two day, non interupted rest. I’m actually pretty happy I’m here at DragonCon so he doesn’t have the stress of me wanting to come visit conflicting with his need to relax and sleep. I told him to give me a call after he’s had some time to rest and I’m looking foward to catching up some more with him.
As a side note to that, I’ve done pretty well on my patience work I think. I got in a little trouble yesterday just from all the stress flying around and my total lack of the ability to concentrate from a headache and no sleep. But I had my kick ass boots on so it was all good. LOLรย I also had a few realizations and maybe if I remember I’ll share them. The topic “How NOT to be a stalker and why time in between talking to the one you love is beneficial for converstation.” Sounds like a good panel to me. *laugh*
Ok, I’m off to a get dressed up (in a mini skirt and my kick ass boots of course) and head to some of my panels. Things are so interspersed and it’s so hard to know if they will be any good or not that it will be interesting to see how much I spend in a panel as opposed to f*cking around until something else fun happens. LOL So…if you know how to text me…feel free. ๐
