Thoughtful Thursday - Can-Con Schedule



I can't believe it starts tomorrow. So much to do before then! Like figure out what food to bring. I figured out a schedule at least.
Officially, I am only on one panel and have nothing in the dealer's room, nor am I pitching anything, so I'm pretty wide open to take it all in. My panel is at noon on Sunday. It's Swordfighting 201. Oh, and the parties too.

Otherwise, I think I'm going to go to one or two workshops on Friday followed by the following panels:

  • Ursula K. Le Guin: Contributions and Legacy

  • Challenging Creative Marriages: Comic Book Writers and Artists Working Together

  • Portraying Non-Verbal Communication in Prose


Saturday

  • Character Arc and Mental Health

  • Epic Fantasy

  • The Ed Greenwood Group

  • Stormtalons

  • Either Renaissance Press Readings OR Unarmed Combat

  • Stormtalons: Closed World Building

  • Want to Dominate the World?

  • 2-hour BREAK from 5-7

  • What if vN is Just The First Circle of Hell: The Dark Future of Sexuality

  • Paper Airplane Thing OR Selling at Conventions

  • Witchcraft, Druids, and the Occult

  • Party


Sunday

  • Finances

  • Bodies of Difference

  • Swordfighting 201

  • The Diversification of the Comics Industry

  • Jay & Silent Dom on Comic Creation


At some point before the Swordfighting panel, I may miss something due to needing to practice for my panel, though.

Then I'm off to a friend's place for our B Movies Group. It's awards night.

Ciao,

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February!  Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker  and query agents. - Complete The Curse of...  and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.

Frisky Friday - Maple Syrup Porn

[caption id="attachment_10523" align="alignright" width="300"] Image created using Bitmoji[/caption] While delving into some Canadian film history this week, I learned that there is a thing called Maple Syrup Porn. I laughed when I read the term. I thought, "Is our adult film industry really called Maple Syrup Porn?" It's not. Some is Canadian, but it mostly refers to getting around censorship of sex. It was not only common in Quebec due to religion, but several places in the US. You can read more about it here . If you're looking to heat things up this weekend, consider a sweet old film from the early days of the sexual revolution. Maybe even drizzle a little syrup on your partner ;) Guid cheerio the nou, R~
