Heading into a Holiday Weekend and MEFA Thanks
Monday is the 4th of July, Independence Day in the US, and we will celebrate by sleeping in and probably playing Lord of the Rings Online and throwing the carcass of some dead animal on top of burning coals for dinner.
I plan to enjoy my additional day off, I get them so rarely. And then I have a week before I leave for my next conference, so I'd better also start packing and making sure I have everything I will need for the trip. I didn't get everything finished that I wanted to before the conference, I won't have charms made for the charm exchange, and I didn't finish the beading that I wanted to give to my wonderful friend, Shruti, so I'll have to mail it to her later (hoping that it makes it through the India postal system intact). Maybe if I say a mantra or something :-) But I am looking forward to the journey, the workshops and the conference. I'm just not quite focused on it yet. That will come....or not. This year I seem to be flying by the seat of my pants a bit more than usual, but I haven't crashed and burned yet - LOL.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank those amazing people who nominated stories of mine for this year's Middle Earth Fanfiction Awards. I wanted to acknowledge each of them below with a banner and a personal thank-you. I am amazed at being nominated at all, let alone by the quality of writers who did so. Hannon le!
