Guess what? Ever since the world began, same plot...

...everyone's been dumping on their fellow man, pounding people they feel better than.

This is the remaining shape of my 2013, with travel dates and everything. Beautiful travel dates. Hope to see you sometime in the months to come. 2014 is now much of the list, as we are almost there. And other horrifying thoughts. (Most horrifying of all, the first 2015 date has appeared. Gleep.)

No fixed deadline/being written/unsold:

~~"Black as Blood"~~
"Blocked"
"The Ghosts of Bourbon Street"
"IM"
"Forbidden Texts"
"Fiber"
"Carry Me Home"
"Pixie Season"
"These Antique Fables"
Echo
Still Catch the Tide

Again, to clarify some recent confusion: some things, especially novel-length things, may appear more than once, on both the "publication date" and "being written" lists. This is because the "being written" list is an aggregate, which also includes "no fixed deadline" (IE, being written on spec or for the website) and "unsold" (IE, being written because I can). So new books will appear there for a long time before they vanish, since books take a long time to write, but may also have pub dates listed higher up.

Look at that list. It's so shiny!

I want you to come to DC! I know you are not in control of these things, but who do I tell?

October 24 2013, 14:20:54 UTC 3 years ago

1) My publisher.
2) Local convention organizers who could potentially invite me as a guest.

Re: Parasite tour: Holy SHIT, that's a lot of plane-hopping! But I am glad you'll be at Mysterious Galaxy. I will do my very best to attend.

October 24 2013, 14:21:02 UTC 3 years ago

Yay!

And if I have my Indexing song done by then (fingers crossed), I'll bring you a CD with, at the very least, a scratch track or a quick-and-dirty live performance.

The 2015 date is a guest of honor gig, isn't it? At least you can take that comfort...

October 24 2013, 14:21:20 UTC 3 years ago

It is, and one of the rare ones that's actually announced this far in advance.

October 24 2013, 16:06:46 UTC 3 years ago

Westercons are usually very good about that sort of thing. They have to have prospective GoH'es at least tentatively lined up in order to compete in the bidding process.

I want to be able to afford that. However, the chances of that are unlikely, as I'm shooting for Worldcon that year and I can generally only afford a convention every few years. But I can DREAM of more than one convention a year!

Disneyland, October 25-28, Anaheim CA
And because of the timing of the release of Parasite, there shall be no Sondheim Style Mash-ups about said title while waiting in line for Racers. Just sayin'...
