ArmadilloCon was fun, but very very tiring. Long day teaching in the writing workshop, but seems like everyone was happy with the experience, so yay; then a long day of panels and people. Then another long but shorter day of same. This, for an introvert, exhausts not only body, but everything else. It was wonderful to talk to known and previously unknown peeps alike, and frer people came to my reading, and some people who aren't my close friends said truly lovely and gratifying things about my fiction--thank you! you know who you are.
But I'm back at the dayjob today and...I'm draggin'.
