I got a cold; sneezing, coughing, sore throat, congestion, the whole nine yards. But, I'm feeling a bit better now, so I'll probably be able to get to work on commissions tomorrow or maybe Friday. We'll see how I feel when I wake up tomorrow.
Anyway, the convention (apart from me falling I'll) went well. I sold a bunch of books and bags and took a few commissions. Because I was focusing on the books, I took less commissions which meant for the VERY FIRST TIME, I was able to attend a few panels!!! ^_^ That was a lot of fun. I went to a sketchbook swap, an adult writing discussion, and a publication panel. I've never had the chance to do that before, so that was super cool.
Speaking of publication, I actually made a very good connection thanks to a recommendation at the adult writing panel. So, hopefully that will pan out in the future.
...speaking of the future, next year, if I can't get a DEALER'S TABLE, I don't know if I'll be attending, or at the very least, I'll be packing extremely light and attempting to get into the artist alley, again. I really wanted the dealers table for this year, because I knew I was going to need the table space. My setup was very limited this year, so I wasn't super happy about that, but I still did well.
Also speaking of the future, as much as I like riding the train, next year I will DEFINITELY be driving! I didn't realize how close I am to Pittsburgh! The train ride is roughly 9 hours, but driving is only 4!!!!! I had no idea, but now that I do, I will be driving. It also means I'll be staying at a hotel for only 2 nights (Friday & Saturday), because I can just drive up on Friday and leave on Sunday. So, that is an amendment of the travel plan that I'm looking for to. ^_^
Anyway, thanks to everyone that stopped by my table. Whether you made a purchase or not, I'm still super grateful. If you did get a book, I'd love to know what you thought, so please feel free to shoot me a message. If you ordered a commission from me, I'm sorry that I was/am sick and wasn't able to get started on them right away, but I hope to be back on my feet tomorrow or Friday. I'll get to them straight away, so please bear with me just a little while.
Alright! I'm going to walk my dog, take some medicine, and head to bed . I'll see you tomorrow! ^_^

So you’re four hours away from Pittsburgh, huh? I hadn’t realized how far away you moved from NY (which is where I remember you being last). The drive would definitely be worth it then. When the economy was better and I was able to attend out-of-town cons, I always drove as most big cities are about 3-7 hours away from me (Kansas City and Memphis are about 3.5 hours, Chicago is about 4, and Omaha is about 7). I don’t know where you are now, but wherever that is, I think you’d definitely enjoy the scenery along the way (it’s the mountains I’m betting, and those are normally a blast).
Get well soon.
Yeah, I didn't realize how incredibly close Pittsburgh was. I like taking the train so I can enjoy the scenery. The train goes in areas where there are no cars and even no people, so it's a very scenic ride. But, I think you're right, a drive through areas where the train doesn't pass will be nice, too.
I wish you a speedy recovery and that it really just is a cold and not something worse. *hugs*
Welcome home, Kitty!
