Moment of Truth

So the last two years of my life is concluding shortly: the catalogs for Deeper Than Swords: Celebrating the Work of George R. R. Martin arrived today. They are...pretty weighty. We ordered 3500 of 'em since we're expecting 2400 for the opening. George pimped the event on his Not A Blog last week--using Todd's very stylish poster. (BTW if anyone wants me to send them catalogs and cards, which are both gorgeously adorned with John Picacio's artwork, lemme know. I has some powers. ;)) I'm at the weird place between being Really Excited to see what people think, Really Terrified about what people think, and Glad it'll all be over either way. I have literally put more blood, sweat, and tears into this than anything else in my life.

In other news, my latest column at Amazing Stories is up and it was linked at SFSignal, which is way cool.

I'm traveling to DC for a conference next week and will get to see some old friends. Also, get to take some extra time for sleep and study, as I need both. Though I gotta say, my profs have been very nice to me as I've had to miss class recently; somehow I expected them to be pissed at me for flaking, but apparently doing a big University event and such is considered acceptable. So.

In less fun news, I've had another health scare which was not fun. I'll be okay in the long-term, it's just I have to be careful and have a think on some things. Which, ugh.

So...how are you guys??
