March of the Penguicon
Just registered for Penguicon (May 1st - 3rd). 

I had a great time last year and I hope to be on panels like I was last year too (which was tons of fun).  I'm being smart about paying for cons this time around, I'm saving the money up ahead of time (got about 3 months to do so), instead of charging everything the weekend of and dealing with it later.

I'm also making a list of things I want to have done by that weekend as well: have books to sell (duh), new business cards (more generic, "freelance writer" something or other), changes to my websites and a finished draft of my current horror-mystery novel (so I can say "Hey, I have this book done...looking for a publisher or agent.")

I'm hoping that by making this list I'll get my butt in gear with getting said things accomplished.  I have it on a dry erase board on my fridge, so I'll see it a few times everyday.   I have a bad habit of "Oh I need to do this," and forgetting about it until days later (usually after I had a long weekend in which I didn't do anything productive).

Also, I'm seeing THE WRESTLER tonight with friends.  I'm looking forward to this and preparing myself for the film to be gut-wrenching depressing.
