Trunk project rules:
1) If it's in the trunk, it's there for a reason. Do not publish until the reason has been addressed.
2) If it's not in the trash it's because there's value in it. Do not throw it away.
3) If you're worried about posthumous stuff, leave notes about Rule 1.

Believe it or not, the first Mo*Con was in 2006 making this year its 20th Anniversary! We can’t let that achievement go uncelebrated, so we’re bringing back some old friends and welcoming some new ones! Mo*Con 2026 runs April 30th (coincidentally my birthday) through May 2nd.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

Whew, I’m not gonna lie: I’m still in recovery mode from running the GenCon Writers Symposium and I’m taking it easy this week. I haven’t processed the weekend yet and I’m shocked by how few pictures I took. But I wanted to share a few thoughts:

there will be GenCon photos once i am caught up on things that must be done l upon returning to a residence I'm responsible for—as opposed to the lovely respite of a vacation in a hotel where i don't have to clean, cook, stock a fridge, hang laundry....

Today is International Owl Awareness Day and I had a hoot putting together this thread of international owl phrases, starting with this one…
A colloquial way of telling someone to mind their own business in Punjabi is apna ooloo sidha rukh. It means “keep your own owl straight.”

5 days of socializing at GenCon didn't drain my social battery at all
amazing how feeling comfortable, welcomed, being accessibly located, and surrounded by my kind of people talking about my favorite hyperfixations can do that
(also sleeping 8 hrs a night and acquiring safe foods for breakfasts)
