The first substantial day of Wiscon!
Yesterday, we discovered to our sadness that Frida's (a Mexican restaurant we all enjoyed) is no more, though we did try a Nepali place that we'd walked past a few times last year. The restaurants of downtown Madison, Wisconsin are pretty much reason enough to come to this con all by themselves.
Since I'm not empaneled at all this year, I have greater flexibility and freedom as to my schedule. This year I'm planning on not focusing on things that deal with the nuts and bolts of the writing and self-publishing businesses... in my own life, my focus just lately has been more on things like my work habits and the honing of my craft way more than it's been about developing business things. I feel like my writing was good enough from the beginning for me to achieve the success that I have, and I've got my basic money-making model nailed down well enough that I can work on developing my gifts further.
I just posted the chapter of Tales of MU for today, wrapping up the Enwich interlude. Since there won't be an update until May 2nd, it seemed like a good idea to find a stopping point there.
Today marks 44 days in a row of on-schedule updates. I keep thinking that I could keep counting upwards by saying that holidays don't count or announcing it in advance means it's on schedule, but I think the psychological benefits of counting as it impacts future productivity will actually be stronger if I start a new count rather than justify keeping the old one. Because now I'll have a target to beat, you see.
State of the Me
Slept well, though I'm still behind on sleep. No other problems.
Plans For Today
If the rest of the party rises early enough, we were going to see about going to the Cornish pasty stand for breakfast. Then we'll go to the Gathering for a while, of course. For panels, the only fixed point in time here is Chicks Dig Comics. I'm strongly considering Pan Morrigan's voice workshop... even though I'm not doing any speaking in front of an audience, I found it did me a world of good in terms of confidence building/ice breaking last year.
