It was a fun time. The conference was great, and our Red Dirt Reader event went better than expected. I was able to see some dear friends and make some new ones. I enjoyed working the reader event and meeting all of the lovely people who purchased a ticket.

Next year’s reader event has been worked out. At least for the levels available to purchase. Eventually, there will be a list of participating authors available. It’s great to see that the 2026 Keynote Speaker is Sierra Simone.

I’m aiming to try to be one of the authors who has a table there, but I have to finish a book first. So, I’ve made it my goal. Will I succeed? Only kicking the shit out of procrastination will fix that. Fingers crossed.

Oh, and later this week, I’ll post a poem I wrote.
