So… the ASA (Australian Society of Authors, of which I am an affiliate member) is holding, in conjunction with Allen & Unwin, a seminar on Wednesday 13 February which is called “Working with your Publisher”.
I really want to go.
As a member of the ASA, I can go at less than half the cost a non-member would have to pay. Therefore, REALLY GOOD SEMINAR AVAILABLE AT REALLY GOOD PRICE.
It’s on a work-day, but my employers are really nice when it comes to me achieving my own dreams… so they’ll allow me to take that day off and receive holiday pay. They will. I’ll make ‘em. 
It’s being held maybe a few blocks from where I work, so… easy access.
I need to have my registration form in by January 31st. That’s next Thursday. There’s a public holiday on Monday… and the first day I can actually post the form is this Thursday. The ASA got my membership renewal the Monday after the Friday I posted it, so… presumably the post-people will be just as quick.
It won’t go ahead if less than 16 people register. I suspect it’ll have a good response so it won’t be cancelled. Knowing how to deal with a tricky publisher is a skill every author MUST HAVE.
Anyway, yes. This post is just me telling the world that I have to go to this seminar. It’s me making sure I damn well post that registration form because the whole world is expecting me to go. A procrastinator like me needs… what’s that word? It’s past midnight, I should be sleeping (it’s Wednesday now therefore I have work in less than nine hours), and I established before that I’m not a walking thesaurus. C’mon now, I think it starts with A…
