Yay another con, another notch on the bedpost lol. We had a great time at FF this year, with Shuri taking the lead and with me in tow, camera in hand. I wish I could have done more personally but I had a wicked cold and it was all I could do to keep from coughing, wheezing, snuffling and ruining every moment on film. Major props goes to my friends  Aurilyn and her mate, especially Auri who racked up...was it 17 hours? Some outrageous number of volunteer hours. Go fox/lynxie!

Have to say I'm getting some major fursuit envy. It's hard when everyone loves your mate and you get left in the shadow, even if you do sport a cool mask every now and again. Having one's tongue dry up and blow away when confronted by so many strangers (to me) doesn't help my popularity I know. But there is a certain cliqueness about fursuiters I have noticed, though it's not nearly as bad as cheerleader or say....horsepeople cliques. I will be making my own fursuit, I don't really care if I'm an old lady when I shuffle into it if the price is right. I just hope the basement stops flooding and getting my foam wet! Moving it doesn't help, the floor just floods in that spot first wherever it is.

The best moment for me at FF was going to the Writing Short Fiction forum, run by....(insert name here). Sorry will give credit to you when I'm awake. As everyone who knows my fursona name of NovelWolf knows, I'm a writer, at least I try to be. This meeting really helped me get past a bad writers patch for me. I had paralyzed myself with fear and nitpickyness about my writing but (insert name here) just said write and don't worry about it till the story's done. And that so obvious sounding piece of advice was what I needed. I really hope to be done with my book by the end of the year, if I ever get a chance to sit down what with work and pets and cleaning the house and...well life! But like what we writers say, 'If Twilight was a success, any piece of crap can be too'.
