johanI wrote a small spoof fanzine yesterday, only two pages of blather. That felt good. I have an excessive writer's block when it comes to writing worthwhile stuff, but when I'm allowed to just blather along, no problems at all.
I finished Pete Weston's fannish memoir With Stars in My Eyes a couple of days ago. Fan history is interesting, and biography is interesting, so fannish memoirs are among the best reads there are. Pete's a bit of a wooden prose writer, but I really enjoyed the book. Let's see if I manage to write something intelligent and coherent about it. It also served to inspire me a bit in my fannish endeavours. I'd like to see our small group here in Upsala evolve a bit, beyond just pub meetings and discussing a book for half an hour once a month. A couple of us are talented and prolific faneds (not me alas!), but I'd like to get more of the group involved in national fandom. Sadly, the Twelfth Night con idea seems to have died before it even got started. My fingers itch to take the initiative, but I tell myself that shan't. So I won't. Other fun things happening in my fannish life instead.
The question is should I and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jlms go to Paragon 2 next year in Hinckley or not? I think we can afford both that, Interaction, and Snorfcon, so it shouldn't be a problem. But I'd like to go to the Oslo con as well. Have to sit down and count out the silver, I guess. jlms should have a job at the department for the next two years, which will make things less complicated.
Snow here today, the bus ran a bit late, but that gave me five extra minutes to enjoy Fforde's Lost in a Good Book.
