That's what I get for loitering in the bar all weekend.<br /><br />I only had ONE lunch in the consuite. ONE. And the night the hubs and I (and a bunch of HRBers) went to Boca du Bepe, that's where the FREE food came from. Now if that isn't a kick in the ass, I don't know what is.Terri-Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468004163467894720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629757467521843286.post-54923012603877895942010-11-03T09:21:48.819-04:002010-11-03T09:21:48.819-04:00All in all, sounds like a very successful con.

Just for a second? No? I guess I'll settle for envy, then. [wry smile]<br /><br /><i>Hell Can Wait by Theodore Judson</i><br /><br />Sounds interesting -- I added it to my to-buy list.<br /><br /><i>A slush reader for Clarkesworld magazine said that its six slush readers each get 25 to 30 manuscripts per day to review. The magazine publishes only 12 short stories a year.</i><br /><br />Not at all surprising. Ten cents a word, dude. O_O I was sort of expecting that everyone and their sister-in-law was subbing there first. Tough market, but awesome if you can break into it.<br /><br /><i>One thousand writers on the Internet simultaneously overwhelmed the system and made it as slow as I remember 300 bps modems being.</i><br /><br />Yikes! Sounds like a good weekend to set your alarm for 3am, and maybe take a nap right before dinner or something. :/ I remember those days too, when you could read faster than your com program could print the text it was displaying; those were not great days.<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.com
