Busy, Busy
This is my busiest time of the year.
Miss Rhylee’s brother Dallas turns 6 today. That makes both her brothers six years old for a month. Then Lane will turn 7.
Miss Rhylee, her brothers, her cousin Dalton and her parents went to the Medieval Fair today. www.medievalfair.org
I have a Norman Galaxy of Writers’ officers’ meeting to go to tomorrow. www.nonprofitpages.com/normangalaxy
Then the SoonerCon Staff is meeting at the Medieval Fair on Sunday. www.soonercon.com
The deadline for the current quarter of Writers of the Future contest is March 31, 2010. Then of course the next quarter starts April 1, 2010. www.writersofthefuture.com
I’m working on a story to send in for the current quarter and will start the next one as soon as this one gets mailed sometime in the next four days.
My conference season starts in April.
Starting with Conestoga 14 April 23-25 2010 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. www.sftulsa.org
Then Oklahoma Writers’ Federation Inc. Conference: April 29 – May 1, 2010 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. www.owfi.org
Followed by a Yard Dog Press Authors’ meeting May 7-9, 2010. www.yarddogpress.com
Then SoonerCon 2010 A Bubba Odyssey – June 4-6, 2010 – Oklahoma City www.soonercon.com
As of this moment I don’t have any conferences or conventions schedule for after SoonerCon. But that is always subject to change. It all depends on whether I get invited to speak somewhere after that.
I’m just a tad disappointed that I don’t have any weddings to perform in June. That’s always a busy month for weddings. So if you live in Oklahoma, and you’re planning to get married, and you need some one to perform the ceremony, I’m pretty much available after June 6th.
Of course I’m always available to perform weddings during any of the conventions or conferences I attend.
