Time flies when you’re not feeling too good.
I’ve been somewhat depressed and down these past two months after Finncon. Multiple reasons and I’m not going to go into them, nothing health-wise, though. Next check-up will be in September 2007.
I’m trying to get over this slump (of creativity and of gigantic proportions) with new regime. First in order of things: I’m calling November the National Fanzine Writing Month. At the end of this month I’ll have material for three fanzines: Arimoniitti #4 (my long-suffering FAPA-zine), Legolas 4/2006 (the Finnish Tolkien Society’s fantasy magazine, with special theme-issue honoring Robert E. Howard – and his century) and the slightly hush-hush fanzine for something I’ll be talking a LOT soon(ish).
Same rules apply as with the regular NaNoWriMO, but this is not a novel (evidently!) but material for fanzine(s). 50 000 words. I’m expecting to write a fair deal about Finncon, as well as Swecon and various other little meetings (Kirjamessut etc). Åcon, for sure (hey, Hal Duncan!). We may even soon have a place to have the con. Could you believe that Åland hotels are bidding over us? More info ASAWGI.
Talking about Finncon: our gracious GoH, Mr. Jeff VanderMeer has started doing a new column – called Dispatches From Smaragdine – for the SF-Site and what is that fungi… erm, fun guy talking about in his first piece? Here is the evidence, pardon if I’ll go and demonstrate the colour of a fire truck to little Myy.
And why didn’t nobody told me that Propaganda actually a good band and not just the odd German one with that one good song (Duel).
More soon.
