In just two days I'll be heading to Portland where I'll have the opportunity to visit family I seldom see. Then I'll be having a cuppa with my writer friend, and fellow Broad Universe member, Mary, aka M.K. Hobson. I'll also be interviewing her.
I enjoy the ease of doing email interviews and most writers prefer them. However, there is so much more to be gained from a face to face, back and forth interview. I'm testing out my cell phone's voice recorder for sound clarity this evening. If it doesn't prove adequate, I'll borrow or buy a digital recorder. I'm not moving to podcasts just yet, so it just has to be good enough for me to transcribe from.
From Portland, I'm hopping a train to Pasco, WA for Radcon, where I'll be doing tons of interviews for the blog.
Radcon! I can't wait! I have a super sweet schedule. Want to see?

I just added procrastinatable to the Urban Dictionary. One of these days, when I have more time I'll have to go play for a while there.
I finished Terry Pratchett's Unseen Academicals. He's still got it! Review to follow soon at Mostly Fiction.
