Two novice authors with little knowledge of sci-fi + a challenge to write a sci-fi novel in 1 year and 1 month, self publish and raise £600= welcome to our world.
And so, the Sci-Fi convention has been and gone. I think we learnt a valuable lesson from attending. Simply put, Sci-Fi conventions are not our natural habitat. This became clear almost immediately whilst collecting our name badges. The nice man with the guest list failed to hide his obvious confusion when he asked for our "full badge name" and we gave our actual names, rather than our Avatar names. We'll know for next time and maybe by then I might have one.
I was also surprised to only see one "Trekkie" but I presume more appeared over the course of the convention's weekend. On the flip side we were intrigued by lots of folks carrying around their beeblebears/Toys, complete with their own individual name badges...
We did get a goodie bag though and heard GRR Martin read the first 2 chapters of his next, yet to be released, instalment of something called "Game of Thrones". I was only slightly uncomfortable watching him read a sex scene. I think I did well.
Big news
We've knocked a few years off Kezra. This might not sound like big news, but, and I speak only for myself here, I have found that she is speaking for herself these days. I am merely the person who types the words.
Is that a good thing? I think that's a sign of progress, right?

It's a good thing- next, try talking to her.
