One of the two classes for Conbust is done. Go, me.
Now have the two photo images for Impruneta paper (one from Scala, one from the National Gallery).![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
helwen has been doing a terrific job on the rest of the images, so as soon as she's finished I can get the final package together for my editors and send the article off. I'm under no illusions that it won't need changes (it almost certainly will) but at least the editors will have it and we can start serious work.
To do this week before convention:
- Tweak quilting class, assemble materials, and prepare props.
- Finish prep work on what I hope will be first actual professional story submission in, oh, about twenty-five years.
- Outline and finish weekly diary for Daily Kos - oh, I haven't mentioned that, have I? Well...
About six weeks ago one of the editors at Daily Kos, a progressive blogging site, noticed that I was an enthusiastic commenter on the weekly "what are you reading?" diary, as well as the other book-related posts. He liked my sense of humor (people who know me in RL are kindly asked to refrain from hysterical guffaws) and asked if I would be interested in writing a light-hearted, humorous weekly diary of some sort.
Thus was born Books So Bad They're Good. The basic premise of this that there are some books that are so terrible they're wonderful, whether due to a ridiculous plot, bad dialogue, a silly premise, or just plain insanity on the part of the author. Every Saturday night I post a short introduction and links to 2-3 really, really bad books that are still either amusing, endearing, or just plain appalling, with commentary.
So far people seem to enjoy them, so here are the links to the first month's worth.
3/19 - Bad Science Fiction
3/12 - Bad Movie Adaptations
3/5 - Bad Non-Fiction
2/26 - Bad Gothics
Last week I did science fiction so am planning on doing fantasy this week. Suggestions for lousy but beloved books are more than welcome!
