Live FB Event
I got invited to participate in an all-day fb event for f/f historical fiction, with lots of authors doing half-hour live presentations, interspersed with several zoom Q&A sessions. This gave me the opportunity to note several things. Hanging out for an all-day fb event is a great opportunity to finish running the numbers for my taxes. (Since the taxes themselves are an interactive website, I didn't try to fill out the forms during the fb event.) Live fb events are evidently very prone to hitches in the feed. Every single author had problems with the connection pausing, which means variable amounts of what they were reading/saying got lost, since you have no idea this is going on while you're presenting. But overall it was a very positive experience. In the Q&A session for my reading group we mostly chatted about ways to promote and support f/f historical fiction -- a topic on which I Have Opinions. I did apologize torward the end for perhaps talking too much. Another feature of the experience occurred about an hour before my reading time when my landscaping contractor started using power tools right outside my office window. Fortunately, when I checked with him he assured me he would be done and gone for the day well before the time when I needed quiet.
Huh, I thought I had two things in mind and now one has gone out of my head. I guess that saves me from needing to think up another three, since I can just call quits?
