RAVENCON REPORT.

In April we went to RavenCon in Richmond, Virginia, and had a very good time. We got to see our old writing friends Edmund Schubert and James Maxey; re-acquainted ourselves with folks like Julie Cochrane, David B. Coe, Gail Z. Martin, Misty Massey, Dr. Amy Sturgis, and Stuart Jaffe; and met Jack McDevitt, Dr. Chuck Gannon, Bud Sparhawk, Mike Kabongo, Hildy Silverman, Yoji Kondo, Larry Hodges, David Bartell, and a host of others whose names escape us as we type this.

The panels we moderated -- one on Artificial Intelligence and one on Military SF -- seemed to go well. It helps when the panelists are lively and smart.

The panels we were on -- one on Blogging and one on Alternative Fuels -- went well despite our being on the panels.

And from our perspective, everything seemed to run smoothly. Kudos to Mike Pederson and his team for putting on an excellent con!

STATUS ON 2009 GOALS:

Outline and begin writing a new novel.
We actually got a few lines written down, but this is proving harder than we thought it would be.

Write at least four new short stories.
One written so far (for a contest), and a second one started and outlined.

Write at least two new essays.
Does last month's series of blog entries count?
