For some time, October's been a busy month for a number of reasons. And this year...wow, I guess the Fates are making up for the amount of stuff that had not to happen during the high COVID years. This is going to be a short update more than anything.
First up, from October 4th to 5th, I'll be participating in Rainbow Space Magic, an online convention focused on LGBTQIA+ writers and readers of speculative fiction. I'll be one of seven authors doing readings from their work on Saturday, which take place from 21:30 to 22:20 UK time. Next I'll be taking part in the panel "Writing About the Past as a Way of Talking About the Present" alongside Jessica Lucci, Robin S. Blackwood, E. H. Lupton and Gideon Marcus at 17:00 UK Time. Find the full schedule on their website (all times are Eastern or Pacific).
I'll also be embarking on the next stage of my Open University degree, my first Level 2 module, and consequently I'll be getting into the swing and flow of things. It's been nerve-wracking, but I also know it will be fun. I just need to get into the flow and swing of things.
And finally, I'll be attending both the online table read, and the recording of my audio play, The Angry House. As I've previously written of, it won the Audio Achievement award in July at the Pen to Print Awards, and since then I've been working with Alternative Stories to refine the script, choose the appropriate cast, and schedule recording. That means I'll be travelling down to attend the recording, and... Well, let's just say it will be tiring.
And that appears to be the overall summary of October. It'll be tiring. I had decided to skip BristolCon this year, hoping to have a quiet year. But it turned out to be anything but quiet. Both on a world stage (insert lunatic, nationalist or warmongering policy here) and in my personal space. Here's to...2026? I guess?
