World Fantasy Con is in Texas this year. Ted and I are theoretically going to it. This depends partly on how fast I get TQB written (2500 words today and the rest of the day taken off because my husband has two days off in a row for the first time since mid-August), partly on finances, and partly on … well. Those two things, really. There are several things coming up over the next year-ish that we want to do. One is scuba diving lessons. They cost a fair chunk…

I think it is there in sufficient quantity. If it is not, then it’s because the book needs another POV character, and it’s not lending itself to that. We’ll see…
