This weekend, Jim and I will be heading to Louisville, Ky. for Imaginarium. We are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new folks, talking up the craft and hopefully selling some books.
Jim is booth babe this time around, plus or minus a crop top. I, however, have a solid schedule, listed below:
- The Art of Legal Prostitution: Selling Your Stuff at Cons and Festivals (solo workshop, 12p Friday)
- AI and Ethics in Every Medium (panel, 8p Friday)
- Death, Taxes and Freelancing: Managing Money for Working Writers (solo workshop, 11:30a Saturday)
- Nevermore: Edgar Allan Poe and The Raven (solo lecture, 4p Saturday)
- Literary Fiction (panel, 11:30a Sunday)
In addition, my screenplay based on “The Train” is one of 15 finalists for the Imadjinn Film Festival Awards. We opted not to get banquet tickets since we are flat broke this year, but will definitely attend the awards part of the ceremony to see if I win.
I promise to behave myself on the AI panel.
Seriously, I’m looking forward to chatting about these topics, and excited that I get to give the MFA a workout with some of these presentations.
Of course, we are bringing the Literary Underworld Traveling Bar. We’ll be open Friday and Saturday nights, with me on the bar and Jim as the bouncer. He’s tough, so behave yourselves. I mean, as much as you ever do. Weirdos.
After the convention, we’re taking a side trip up to Cincinnati to meet our new grandbaby, so don’t expect too much in the way of intelligent posting for the next several days. Don’t burn down the internet while we’re gone or I will turn this van around so help me.
