I seem to spend a lot of time making people talk to each other, or themselves, in my fics rather than throwing themselves into action. Does that get boring? I worry about it sometimes.

I haven't said much about my non-fic life lately, I know. It's been more of the same, mostly, with a few shining interludes. My health is good: haven't gained any weight back since last year, and have managed to keep the exercise going. My reading quota is better: 46 books this year already. I attended CON-Con (the Leverage convention) in March, and the local Jim Butcher book signing a week and a half ago with maevebran, sulien77, and little_lusty. (I still haven't read Changes, but I'm looking forward to it).

Next week, I go to the Microsoft Conference in Georgia; and about 24 hours after I fly back from that, I fly back out again to visit my brother in Mississippi for a week and a half. It'll be good to take a break from real life for awhile; I love my life these days, but it's so busy I 've had a hard time finding the energy to get much writing done. *cracks knuckles* At least I have today and tomorrow free. Then I've got to get some heavy-duty cleaning and packing done.

For those of you who follow fic awards, I've been nominated in the "Five Things" category at the c2c_buffyawards, for my Illyria/Wes post-series-finale fic Moving On. \0/ It's one of my own favorite things I've ever written; I'm extremely thankful to whichever of you put my name in.

Off to Wal-Mart now; the last time I bought shorts was in the middle of my transition from size 18 to 4, and I'm going to need some for beach bumming in two weeks. I think I'll wait to buy a new swimsuit until I'm actually down there, though; the selection up here in the Pacific NorthWest is kind of dismal in my preferred price range. TTFN. I should have something in the SG-1/PJO range for you later... more conversational crossover trailbreaking, I fear. *lol*
