Mine arrived today! I keep looking at the envelope while I'm sitting here and getting more and more excited.

I've never been to something like this before, and I have a question. I know it begins at seven, but will people be lining up or anything prior to that? If so, how much earlier might that be starting? I'm trying to plan things out time-wise as much as possible since it'll take me a while to get up there, heh.

Yay for tickets! To answer your question, it's a good idea to line up a while before the actual event. I've only been to two other signings (not for Jim though), and there was a full house about half an hour before the event. I showed up about an hour before, so I did get decent seats. With Jim, I expect it to be nuts, so I'd show up at least an hour before. Where are you coming from? I'm driving up from Vancouver, BC, so I'll probably get there well in advance.

I'm going to buy mine as soon as I'm away from sketchy public wifi  .

Oh, haha, that's a good idea.

I just bought mine today. I can't wait!

*Thread bump* Anyone bought their tickets yet?

I find baths remarkably inspirational.      Pass the loofa.

I dunno, I find them relaxing and a great place to read. Not particularly inspirational.

I have to second the edit, edit, edit suggestion. When I'm stuck or can't find the motivation to do something, I usually pick up something really cringe-worthy and go about making it better. Sometimes, in the process of improving something so obviously bad I find the missing motivation and am able to get back to it.


Of course, Neuro's suggestion is also good. I've never tried it before. But what I do is to pick up a book by one of my favourite authors from my bookshelf and read a random passage. Sometimes that helps to bring me back on track. Other times, I have to pick another passage to read. In such cases, I read passages until I'm ready to get back to it. I have never had to read more than 4 passages before the missing motivation comes back.


All the best!

Thanks Priscellie!

Awesome, Silverfox! Depending upon who else from the forum shows up to the signing, we can wear little nametags with our forum names. Just so we know who's who.
