But the future is another place
I slept slightly more than twelve hours last night. I had complex dreams involving a novella I had written three-quarters of and just needed to pull into shape. I was really bitter when I woke that it wasn't actually on my computer.
I am also bitter that I appear to be sick. Nothing dramatic, just wavery exhaustion and congestion and the feeling that I could crawl back into bed immediately, which I am not doing because I want my sleep schedule to stay more or less on track. With any luck it will blow over soon, because what I wanted to talk about with this post is the fact that I will be in New York City on Tuesday.
As previously mentioned, the New York Review of Science Fiction is hosting the launch party for Clockwork Phoenix 5 at the Brooklyn Commons Café on April 5th, starting 7 pm. I will be there, as will other splendid CP5 contributors including C. S. E. Cooney, Carlos Hernandez, and Shveta Thakrar. I will be reading from "The Trinitite Golem," a story for which I taught myself some nuclear physics. Local people, any chance of seeing you there?

Thank you! I saw a doctor this afternoon and am now taking Tamiflu, so that's the idea.

You'll just have to write that novella now...

I don't know that I remember enough of the plot! I liked it a lot. The whole thing is very frustrating.

Awesome!
I am extraordinarily self-conscious about being seen these days because of the damage the braces have done to my diction and my natural range of expressions and I am convinced that I am an embarrassing disappointment to everyone who used to know me or admire my performance skills and that even people who used to like me will want nothing to do with me anymore, but I am also fairly certain that while it is objectively true that there are serious problems with my face and voice right now, it is not true that I have been disowned by all of my friends because of them, and I am insisting on doing this reading in part because I think that becoming a complete recluse is not actually a proportionate reaction on my part. So it will be good to see you, whatever my brain keeps trying to tell me. Also I am proud of this story and I want to make myself remember that.
