Hello, fish girl, I hope you have a nice time at Writercon and I'm sorry I won't get to meet you! I think I've done my dash on Writercons, purely from being so far away. Also I found the last Writercon perhaps not my thing -- I don't do groups very well and I wasn't well physically -- something wrong with my teeth -- I was in pain in my mouth all the time and couldn't eat. I'd also had this fantasy that if I went to Writercon and heard the best minds speak and asked Jane E the right question, then my severe angst over the BUffy series would be cured. Of course that was far from the case -- in fact the opposite was true. Also the LJ friend I went over and stayed with in the US promptly dumped me when I got home. And I missed my kids very badly. So, a bit of a weird time. I'm sure other people handle it better.
