So if I'm going to be in the East Midlands and I can choose any time of year and my time constraints are few, which UK science fiction convention should I try to schedule around? Why?

Frank had to go to the UK for administrative details linked to getting the right to practise medicine there. So it was just Hana and me for four days, one of which was the Strakonice trip for me. Since then we just kind of hung around, with me writing a lot and Hana working on getting ready to move. We have gone for pleasant walks in Centralni Park (pictures in the future), done grocery shopping, and talked a lot. Yesterday we went to the Botanical Park because we thought Frank wasn't coming home today, but we had to cut our trip short because he did come home.

On the writing front: finished this new version of The Conduit though I had a flash that I want to alter the ending somewhat, and wrote almost half of the other thing I want to submit before the end of the month (I think I am calling it "Tree-Hugger").  I was having severe doubts about how it was coming together, but I'm feeling somewhat better now. At least the market I'm writing it for is pretty likely to accept it if it is okay. Also figured out the dedication for Outside, which was surprisingly hard ("for the children of my accidental family"--accidental family being a term within the story).

Not long ago, my son asked for a bit of brainstorming on what I could see as developing social issues for a science fiction piece he was working on (his science fiction is in game format, which entails, in his case, about two novels' worth of writing, for background, color text, etc). I said I thought the way thingfs were going, institutionalized slavery looked like a real thing to be concerned about.

This is one of the reasons why.
