Running out of gas

I keep wondering why people have repeatedly mentioned having read my latest and then go on to talk about “Duck Duck God” . . . and then I look at the last update on this journal and I’m like

So . . . I have had things! And stuffs! And happenings! Just . . . not journal entries.

I’ll do the publishing recap in a different post, since it’s almost time for authors to start putting out year-end eligibility posts. I will note, however, that while I haven’t been journaling, I have been keeping my Bibliography and Appearances pages pretty well up to date.

So what else has been going on in my life?

I was on programming at ReaderCon in Boston, which was an absolute career highlight so far. ReaderCon was the first specfic literary Con I ever attended, as a fan. To be there as an author was just too amazing for words.

I’ve been in the longest remission of my chronic depression that I’ve had in decades. I’m feeling like this is making me a better teacher too. I know better than to believe in cures, but I’m enjoying the moment, even in my daily ups and downs.

And I’ve continued to run, something I was evidently already doing back in *mumble*wheneverIlastupdated*mumble*. I’m going to try to insert a page break here, if I can figure out how to do that on WordPress, so that if talk of fitness and body image isn’t for you, you can avoid that content.
