So you missed Wiscon, but you also missed Wischolera. Really, that's what people were calling it.

We got a copy of How to Ditch Your Fairy at Locus yesterday, but I only had time to read the first three chapters before it was snatched away by cruel hands to be sent to a reviewer etc. Starts wonderfully, though, and can't wait to read it all!

They'll be doing super fun things, but at the same time they'll be like, "Something is lacking, and I'm feeling strangely lost and alone." And then they'll realize it's because I'm not there with them. And they'll cry a little. Or something like that.
