		<title>Still at Aussiecon 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s the last day of Aussiecon 4 and I&#8217;ll be kicking around the convention centre for most of the day, soaking up the remaining hours of the geek-nirvana that is the worldcon. I have also hit the part of the con where I&#8217;m surviving on about four hours of sleep a night, but that&#8217;s a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the wee hours of the morning on the second day of Aussiecon 4 and I&#8217;ve had far to little sleep, so I&#8217;m going to limit myself to firing up the laptop webcam and posting this: New Book! Wooo! It Exists! Now I&#8217;m off to shower and prepare for another day of geeky awesomeness.]]></description>

		<title>1 Day &#8217;til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And in an hours time I&#8217;m off to the airport. I&#8217;m a bundle of nerves this morning, but I&#8217;ve been singing this song for the last half-hour: And tomorrow there is Worldcon.]]></description>

		<title>2 Days &#8216;Til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And by this time tomorrow I&#8217;ll be happily ensconced in our Melbourne digs, surrounded by a bunch of my writerly peeps. This promises to be awesome &#8211; hail to the peeps. My publisher&#8217;s twitter stream also informs me that they&#8217;ll be bringing the last of their Horn stocks to Worldcon. I have no idea how [...]]]></description>

		<title>3 Days &#8217;til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And last night there was Write-club with the inimitable Angela Slatter and Ben Francisco, whereupon many words were written and we ate our body-weight in sugar. I was also mocked (albeit politely and deservedly) for my insane approach to rewriting, for I have real trouble letting go of a scene when I know that *something [...]]]></description>

		<title>4 Days &#8217;til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And man, doesn&#8217;t that feel like an ominous thing to type in the title of the post. I&#8217;m in a vaguely half-asleep state this morning, largely because I started reading Seanan McGuire&#8217;s Rosemary and Rue just before going to bed last night and it&#8217;s one of those books where the temptation to read just one [...]]]></description>

		<title>6 Days &#8217;til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So this morning started with a trip out to my not-so-local post office to check my mailbox, largely on the assumption that a terribly efficient postal system stood a very small chance of delivering a hardcover book from England to Brisbane in the space of a week. Admittedly I figured it was a long shot, [...]]]></description>

		<title>7 Days &#8217;til Worldcon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Man, I&#8217;ve been all over the place for the last week. Good stuff happened and bad stuff happened and my emotional state bounced around like one of those 20-cent rubber crazy balls you used buy from the machines out the front of the grocery store, but there was rarely a moment where stuff happened all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where to Find Me at Aussiecon 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know Worldcon is getting closer when everyone starts posting their schedules. Details of my stuff below, with the full program available over at the website. Finding the difference: Australian SF vs the rest of the World Australia has a strong and vibrant speculative fiction industry and community &#8211; but how does it differ from [...]]]></description>
