Opportunity for Aspiring Writers — I-Con
I-Con, one of the largest SF cons in the USA, is happening at SUNY Stony Brook from April 4-6 this year. I went last year and had a great time…highly recommend it for all lovers of the fantastic.

Nothing this year, I am attempting to save up money to join RWA and then I will see about the conferences. I am hoping to go to something later on but *le sigh* money is super tight with the “dog” issues (summary: husband buys dog, dog chews through pipe floods apartment, dog has to be spaded soon or we will have issue at apartment) The problems never end

Well geez I thought I answered your question yesterday but it didn’t post. Sorry… I am not able to travel this year due to money (my dog flooded the apartment) and time off from work. But by golly molly I am going to try really hard next year to get out and about!

I have two demented cats that wreak their destruction all over my house, so I feel your pain, Sarai…It would be so wonderful to see you at one of these cons. Soon, I hope!
