Columbus Ohio ceased being a cow town years ago as, much like me, it’s grown larger and spilled over its belt in the last few decades. But if BronyCon is in Baltimare, TrotCon must be in Cowlumbus.

Anyway, day one of the convention is winding down, and in many ways I have completed my mission. By 2㏘ our book had four new autographs. Brenda Chrichlow was first. What a wonderful, enthusiastic person. How could I not like Zecora’s voice. Plus she said she liked my hair.

And too often, all I do is dream. Seldom do I do, and I disappoint myself, but every now and then, I manage to write the dreams down.

I'm feeling drained after the amount of time spent on my last story, and I find myself second-guessing several ideas I have on the table. It's not exactly a healthy afterglow period.

Lyra and Bon Bon went to Trotcon again, along with Admiral Biscuit!

I'd include the obligatory picture of them riding on the dash while we cross the Ohio state line, but this blog post is already gonna be kinda picture-heavy.

Today opened, for me, to the strains of Shonen Knife covering the Ramones. Okay that’s not true it actually opened to the tones of OGMs droning snore. But we’ll forgive him.

The first thing I did today was make a beeline to the merch hall, where I paid another visit to NewGreyMare. There, I purchased some G3’s, specifically a G3 Ponyville Christmas house and mini Minty and a G3 Wisteria with all her accessories!

As I write this, I am at TrotCon. It's been a fun day, spent some time with internet friends made real. After checking into my room for the weekend, I realized it was a quiet space with a perfect table... and I happened to bring my laptop with me...

So, here I am, sitting in my hotel room at one o'clock in the morning, tapping away at the keys as I begin writing the next (final?) chapter of Crystals & Chitin instead of attending the raging hedonism party downstairs.

No, I’m not being a parasite... I... I’m giving my son a signal boost!

BlueBook doesn’t have a lot of followers—five active I think—so if you kind folks could boost his read count by perusing his rather wordy blogs, you’ll get a pretty good idea of what went on in the Magical Land of Franklin County™

Four days until I'll be at TrotCon 2017!

If you're going to be there, please take a look at my previous blog posts and check out my sweet sweet Starlight book set raffle!

How do bronies spend their Sunday mornings? Just like ever pony else, they go to 10 AM Mass. In this case, I found myself sitting in Fiaura The Tank Girl’s panel on the Psychology of My Little Pony, aka “Brony Church”. But before we cover that, let’s back up just a little bit, and examine how my Brony Sunday began.

I'm planning on going. Not giving a talk. Anyone else?

It's that time of year again, Con season! First up is Trotcon, in Colombus Ohio going from the 19th to 21st. Should be oodles and boodles of fun. I have two panels running, the first being my QnA panel with myself and (hopefully) some other authors that I usually grab last minute.

Looks like I'm going to Trotcon in July!
Are any of you going?

Post to the Convention Planning thread Trotcon 2022, July 15-17, Columbus OH if you're looking for a room or a ride, or have one of those to share.

Derp. I forgot to post that my talk is "The Structure of Fimfiction" in Salon A ("Reverie") at 7:15pm Friday.

Howdy folks! It's Monday, I'm home and feeling somewhat refreshed having spent my weekend at a killer convention, that's right... TrotCon 2017!
