I've cleaned my desk and gotten Petite halfway to 27th level. Neither of those things is really a sign of a productive morning (although wow, the clean desk makes me feel better).
I'm seriously considering taking a page from
tersa's book and not logging onto the intarweb-connected computer until 5pm daily or something. Given how many hours ahead of most of the people I talk to regularly I am anyway, this would make absolutely no difference to anyone but me. :)
I've discovered local (to Cobh) yoga classes. Beginning classes held four nights a week, in fact. One starts to cease to have an excuse, doesn't one? And yesterday at the store Ted came across flyers for traditional Irish dance classes for adults (don't remember if it's step or set dancing) held on Monday nights... There are about four other things, too, that I feel like I ought to make an attempt to do (swimming, photography club, and going to the gym among them), but I'd be pretty pleased with myself if I just got out to do *one* thing. :)
Yeah. Must put myself on a schedule, mostly. Which, y'know, with PCon this weekend is so likely to happen. :)
Speaking of PCon,
Saturday:
12:00 – 13:00 There Be Dragons
There have been many tales of Dragons over the years, but what is it about the mythical dragon that is so alluring?
16:00 – 17:00 Looking out for a Hero
There is an increase in tales of emerging superheroes. But in reality, would the world accept them, or would they be hunted down and caged (or worse)?
17:00 – 18:00 Lifestyles of the Rich and Supernatural
Vampires have been a popular trend in romance for a long time, but shapechangers, minor gods, superheroes, ghosts, and magical time travellers are catching up. Is it the strangeness we like, or the power?
Sunday:
10:00 – 11:00 Bad guys and Fan Mail
In many stories it's the bad guys that the women fall for. OK, maybe Sauron didn't get many fans, but other than that, why is it that the bad guys get all the women fans falling for them?
13:00 – 14:00 Blogs
Many people, including writers, keep on-Line blogs such as LiveJournal. But for professional writers is it a waste of time, or a useful tool for keeping in contact and research?
15:00 – 16:00 How to put together a graphic novel
What are the elements required for budding graphic novelists when putting their novel together.
Looking forward to it. *beam*
