Am I ready? Yup. Absolutely. I am completely on top of everything. No procrastination going on here. Nope. None whatsoever.

*Screams internally*

When did June become so short? What happened to the first week of July? In recent news, not only has my waitlisted panel been pulled into the official programming, but I am also honored to be considered a featured presenter at this year’s Otakon (no pressure right?)

So here is my final list of programming confirmed for Otakon:

Japanese Folklore: Kitsune, Oni and Yuurei, Oh My!
Blood and Honor: The Story of the Samurai in Japanese Cinema
How to Become a Samurai in 1 Hour
Thy Name is Woman: Exploring the Horrors of Female Ghosts in Japan (NEW PANEL!!!) Fans, Tricks and Hands: An
Introduction to Japanese Dance Styles (NEW WORKSHOP!!!)

Keep an eye out for them, and hope to see some people there!

Progress is ongoing, albeit a bit slower than I would like. I broke 30k this week, but that was largely because I spent much of the time editing existing material (yay rebels!).

As my schedule starts to free up more, I’m hoping to dedicate more of my time to making some serious progress in my work. As the goal is to finish the first draft of my novel, “When Honor Burns”, I need to start cranking out those words.
