Friday I'm off to Novacon 39 in Nottingham, yet another reason why my NaNoWriMo is going virtually nowhere. I'm sitting on 9k right now; my natural slow writing combined with higher than usual writing cobwebs from being almost idle the last two years, combined with preparations for the convention (preparing artwork to bring), finishing up the Assassins' Canon anthology and house hunting (the legal work is underway now!) has meant that my likely hood of making 50k is almost zero. However, if I can push myself to the 30k mark I'll still be happy as that'll be 1/3 of the book done (and, hopefully, much of the hard work will have been sorted in the process).
Anyway, regarding Novacon39: it's my first Novacon and, while each sci-fi con is similar, so far they all seem to have their own quirks as well. In addition, this will be the first one that I will be exhibiting some of my artwork and I'm very interested to see what feedback I might get. There will also be a few authors there including the guest of honour Justina Robson and I'm looking forward to meeting as many as I can.
