 I'm back in Harrisburg! Not at my house, but I'm in an area I know. It's amazing how much my anxiety level drops when I know how the streets work. I planned on taking the local bus, but...I think I'll just take an Uber. I'll eat an actual meal at home, not here, and take an Uber. The local bus stops a mile from my house, and I am just not up to dragging a suitcase for a mile in this humidity. (However, my sinuses feel normal, for once. Small benefits.)

So now I'm sitting in Little Amps, which has probably the best coffee in Pennsylvania, having a latte as an excuse to use the Wi-Fi, and attempting to have a brain again. I didn't even try to get anything done on the bus--I read old sff mags I bought at WisCon for the first leg of the trip, and then slept most of the rest. Now if only this magical ability to sleep in moving vehicles had kicked in on the way to....

I'll try to get something done to post by the end of the week. The last couple weeks have been taken up by 1) preparing for WisCon, and 2) attending WisCon. (I really thought I'd hand out more business cards, too. I think I still have over 200 left. Boo.) So I have like three different short things that I never got the chance to edit. Oh, wait, I have chapters for something else that are finished, so that's what will be coming out probably tomorrow. I hope the like two people following this like teenage elves getting into trouble at a dystopian magic school!

But anyway, I am all but home, and not stuck in somewhere like Chicago. Not knocking Chicago, it's just not my home. It's good to be back.

 I'm at WisCon! I've been going to a lot of events, and so, ironically, not writing terribly much. I did do a speedwrite yesterday for a storytelling workshop that turned out to have more seats at the last minute, but that was only 400 words, as I found when I transferred it from my phone to my computer. There are so many events that choosing which ones to go to is always a terrible compromise, but today I went to a workshop on how to get into pro writing markets, and one about food in literature!

And if you want to find me when I'm not at an event, not that anyone is probably reading this (except for the like six people I gave business cards to, who are at least as busy as I am?), I'm probably going to be in the TGQ Safe Space. (It's low-lit and chill, perfect for when I'm "over-peopled.") If you're cis, you'll have to knock on the door and ask for me--sorry! Or if you hear KMFDM on the 7th floor, also me. I only do that when the roommates aren't there, though.

Anyway, I'm glad I decided to go. It's nice to have an excuse to turn my brain back on, it's nice to be able to talk to people and make new friends, it's nice not to have to perform masculinity just to get some androgyny, and it's nice to learn new things. I plan to come back next year.
