#SizeCon has come and gone. It was great to see my friends, and I'm gratified to make so many new contacts. I sold 30 books and all of my zines, and I picked up a lot of beautiful artwork and conducted three key interviews. (I really need to hone my interview skills.) #AmWritingSize

After announcing the completion of my tasks, some people let me know they can't make it to #SizeCon but they're interested in the zine. I sent out four copies yesterday, and... it kind of would be a dream to compose and sell a sustainable zine.
The only obstacle is there's a lot of shame and fear in this community, and not everyone's comfortable with revealing their real name, much less their home address. I think that would get in the way of the publication paying for itself. #AmWritingSize
Everything's done. Both books are printed and shipping to the hotel. I collected the box of zines this morning. My list is all checked off and all that's left is to relax for a week before I fly out to #SizeCon. It's all good. I don't even have the sense I'm forgetting something: all my ducks are in a row and I can decompress. #AmWritingSize #AmWritingErotica

Update: I've received notice that 'As for Ginny' has shipped and is whisking its way over the holiday weekend to the hotel.
I've approved the proofs for 'We Come from Somewhere This Was Real', so maybe they'll ship out tomorrow? Worst case, even if it doesn't ship out until the end of the month, it will still arrive on the first day of #SizeCon.
The #zine has attained stable format and is submitted to FedEx for printing. I'll collect 30 copies tomorrow.
And that's it! #AmWritingSize
Update: I've approved the proof for 'As for Ginny' and it's being printed as we speak.
I made a dog's breakfast of 'We Come from Somewhere This Was Real' and have racked up modest fees for revising my files, then correcting the errors I introduced in revision. But proof is approved and it's in process.
Tonight I finished the zine layout, wasted hours overthinking the page numbering process. Turns out Word was smarter than I'd supposed. The #SizeFantasy zine is ready to print. #AmWritingSize
Last-minute decision: I'm going to #SizeCon. I'm working on the swag today, and I've got two months to complete a new book for the convention. #SizeFantasy #AmWritingSize #AmWritingErotica

Struggling to focus tonight. Made a tasty drink, then another. Got the apartment to myself, nothing but time to write and revise a draft. Maybe frenetic, bubblegum J-Pop isn't the best choice for background music.
I'll set up the light show and turn on some ambient and start a timer. Why mess with success? #AmWriting #AmWritingSize #AmWritingErotica
