Today I submitted a story, and I started a new one. (And while I'm on about stories, I have a new collab with @timpratt.org coming out in December.)

Thank you @wfc2026.bsky.social for the motivation and inspiration. I love the boost I get after a good con and I seem to be running with it this time.

So since I just got this email *again*, a reminder to my writerly friends to stay vigilant. I’m sure no one on @wfc2026.bsky.social’s team is responsible or even aware of this, but in the event that someone does have info about attendees that may potentially cross a boundary, be on the alert.

Today in 'AI scam emails targeting writers are getting simultaneously dumber and creepier':

did anyone else get BCC'd in an email that just says 'do you want to pay for a list of the people attending World Fantasy this year, including their real names, home states, and phone numbers?'?

I didn't get as many books as I could have but got more than I had hoped to. So I'm going to start the Tetris game of packing.
