Next Up: I-Con!
Recently got the tentative itinerary for I-Con, and I’m doing the newbie writer happy dance…these panels look fabulous! If you plan on coming, please find me and say hello — or drop me a line in advance so we can meet up!
For those of you who don’t know about I-Con, it’s one of the largest SF cons in the Northeast, and it’s happening at the State University at Stony Brook, NY April 4-6. I am really looking forward to it — I went last year, and had a wonderful time.

Uh I am pouting now (inner child I wanna go and I wanna go now!) However, I will restrain from pouting and maybe save the money to go next year!!!
Those panels sound interesting I would like to sit in on the the “I am not my Character or am I?” I could use some help with that!
Hope your week is going good! Let us know how it goes

Thanks Sarai…I promise to give you a full I-Con recap. All of these panels are ones I would gladly attend — all stuff I think about a lot. The character question the most, these days!
thanks my friend…

I’d like to attend. Wonder how far Stony Brook is from Newport?
Have a great time this year, Michele!
