Goooood morning all!

Omg, I had MY coffee this morning! My sweet, sweet nectar of the gods and it was goood. I almost forgot how good coffee can taste. The coffee on the trip varied wildly in quality and, worst of all, total amount. Although even the worst coffee was better than the craptastic work coffee. No coffee pots in our room and no place in the hotel that I could find to give me portable coffee meant it was a bit of a quest. But the worst day of all was yesterday, when lack of sleep made me so shaky that I couldn't do coffee at all - except for a single cup at work. But this morning, oh, heavenly. *happy sigh*

And I went to bed at 8:30 last night and collapsed like...the side of a mountain during an avalanche. Complete crashing. I slept until 6:30ish this morning, and it was goood. I could have slept even longer and after actually after I showered I just wrapped my head back in a towel and crawled into bed and kinda drowsed until about 7:15 or so. But I feel human. AND then there was that perfect cup of coffee. And at work today, there was cake in the breakroom, for a nutricious swmbo-breakfast. And evil work coffee.

But you're probably going - get to the goooood stuff!

Well, this is at least partially the post you've been waiting for! Before the little bits of my brain die off and I forget it all, I want to talk about the Jane Espenson Q&A. The two hours were amazing and I wish everybody could have been there - Jane is a wonderful speaker - charming, funny and sincere, with no problems handling any questions. I'll try to talk about other parts of writercon in another post, this will just be the Q&A


( Jane Espenson Q & A session )

Ok, there are things I am totally forgetting, like entire sections I think, and I can't think of what they are...so if anybody has any specific questions on 'if she talked about xyz' - just ask them here and it'll jog my memory. Or if anybody who was there wants to remind me! I'll answer in both comments and I'll probably do sort of a recap post of the answers, so that people dont' have to keep coming to my LJ to look for them. Or if you want me to elaborate on any particular answer, I can see if my brain can summon up any more details, even if it's just tone or context or something.

Plus this is getting very long as is!

ETA: The link to Part 2, aka the things I forgot.

One more post about the Jane Espenson Q&A – a few things other people said triggered my memories a little further, so here’s a little bit more:

( Jane Q&A part 2, the bits I forgot the first time )

Anyway, that’s the end of part 2! Again, if anybody wants to ask me to elaborate on any of the answers or has any other questions, drop me a line. Worst I can do is say "Sadly, she didn't talk about it!"
