I&#8217;m writing Gemini for <em>Air<\/em> and multi-tasking about contemplating what to write for National Novel Writing Month. I have some scenes ready to do, but I&#8217;m not going to be able to start until the 4th due to ComicCon. Thursday I have to load in, Friday I have to set up and be ready for the VIP, Saturday and Sunday I&#8217;m there all day, break down Sunday, and collapse.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written out some things in my notebook of what to do\u00a0 once the 4th hits. I&#8217;ll be 6000-ish words short at the start, but hopefully will be able to make it up the week after having Veteran&#8217;s Day off. I was thinking about dictating it again, but I feel weird with my son in the next room. Or he randomly comes and sits in the same room I&#8217;m in and then suddenly, I can&#8217;t write. He&#8217;s sitting on the opposite end of the room, and can&#8217;t see what I&#8217;m writing, but I feel weird, like he can see what I&#8217;m doing. I have this weird feeling that the stuff coming out is too raw to read, and that he&#8217;s judging what I&#8217;m writing. From the other side of the room! I wonder if any other authors feel this, too.<\/p>\n<p>I need either silence or just the right music to do my writing, and no one in the room. No one in the house would be perfect. No one in a 10 mile radius is even better. Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>I am all packed for ComicCon. Two suitcases, two retractable banners, and I&#8217;m ready. I&#8217;m at booth 1637 which, if I can read the map correctly, is either near the bridge to Artist&#8217;s Alley\u00a0 or the loading dock. At least I&#8217;m not downstairs, where the internet is nearly non-existent.<\/p>\n<p>After ComicCon comes the Expo, and then after that, a breather. I think I&#8217;ll work on writing for the spring months, and then pick up the selling later. I&#8217;ll try to get in to the Cumberland author expo, and then maybe something else, but winter and spring is going to be dedicated to writing and editing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
