Yesterday, I went to Magic Casements, an SF writing festival held at the NSW Writers' Centre in Rozelle. Like the first one, which took place in September last year, the panels featured local SF authors, artists, publishers, and critics. Most of the ones I attended were pretty good, with lively and interesting speakers. I also managed to catch up with some people I knew.
By the end of the day, I felt all energised and motivated again. Just being surrounded by people who are out there doing stuff, and being told all those things you already know but still need to hear regularly - it's really good for giving you a kickstart.
Afterwards, I dropped by the city and picked up the latest volume of Demon Diary and the first volume of a Hong Kong comic called The Four Constables.
There's a lot of interesting stuff coming out soon - Tokyopop starts releasing the Angel Sanctuary manga later this month, and the first volume of Tokyo Babylon is due next month. Two series I never imagined seeing in English one day. Mmm...
