Still astounded that I got through watching 22 events from the #Cymera literary festival. For the last fortnight I have been sleeping typically over 12 hours a day, and struggling hugely to stay awake at other times. All due to my latest #neuro illness flare. But I kept nibbling at the videos, usually late at night, and got to see and enjoy masses. Chuffed. https://vivsacademicblog.wordpress.com/2023/07/03/watching-the-cymera-writing-festival-on-catchup/ #bookFestivals #books #reading #scifi #fantasy #horror #writing #Edinburgh #Cymera23

821 followers · 1220 posts · Server mastodon.scotStill very ill #neuro with another #flare, but trying to see more #Cymera writing festival videos while they're still online, saving #SHARP23 #bookHistory conference for catchup in July or August (videos online till 31 Aug!), and hoping awake tomorrow or Friday a little bit to see some #StAndrews book conference talks. Though many #academic #conferences have reverted to face to face this largely bedbound academic is hugely grateful for those still offering #streaming. #accessibility #academia

It took place in early June and I bought a digital weekend pass. This let me watch events streamed live, and after on catchup. Now watching loads before 3 July. Already enjoyed Adrian Tchaikovsky and others talk about cityscapes in fantasy fiction, and Aliette de Bodard and Ann Leckie talk about space operas. With many more things still to watch. #Cymera23 #books #reading

569 followers · 4754 posts · Server mastodon.xyzAt the book festival a young woman has bought quite a lot of books. She piles them on the table, moves them around, sits them on top of each other. Puts them in sets to take pictures of them together. Then awkwardly props open signed copies to take more photos. Eventually she carefully packs them into a bag, which increasingly becomes clear is likely not to work. Two big fat hardbacks sit on the table at the end. Start again? #cymera #edinburgh #postcard

That's why I was crying and holding my heart yesterday on the train. The hope. What a ride.
One of the reasons I was in such a hurry to read this novel now is that I'm appearing on a panel with McDonald this coming Saturday, June 3, at #Edinburgh's #Cymera festival, along with #NinaAllen, author of the new novel *Conquest*:

I will probably sleep through all the events live, but will be able to catch up over the following weeks via #streaming. Shame I didn't think of this 2 weeks or more ago, when the early bird rate was still there. But better late than never! https://www.cymerafestival.co.uk #Scotland #CreativeWriting #Convention
