this is a very small violin you are playing for me, isn't it?

I am honored to be a presenter at the forthcoming Diana Wynne Jones Conference, in Bristol this July. (Except now I have to write the paper.)

I am honored to've been asked to teach Fantasy and Science Fiction at the Center for the Study of Children's Literature again this Fall. (Except now I have to prep for the class again.)

If only my time-consuming avocational successes paid well enough to support me, so that making time for them could be easy.

Believe it or not, I know the feeling.

I have five-and-a-bit talks to prepare, from ten minutes to three hours in length, between now and mid-July. Two of these are paying gigs. The rest, well...

Both of those are bits of awesome news! I'm insanely jealous of anyone just going to taht DWJ conference, let alone presenting.

I had a little violin somewhere for you but I dropped it and now I can't find it on the carpet.
