Okay, so I didn’t really write “fuck everything” on that sign, but FAN EXPO Canada was my worst ever convention. I needed to vent. I spent so much money on travel and lodging expenses and I barely sold anything. The Friday at the con, it was open for ten hours and I only sold two books. It makes for long, depressing days…

That said, it happens. Cons and festivals are always a question of luck too: where you’re seated, who’s sitting beside you, the weather, … There’s always a risk you won’t make your money back, and you’ll never know if an event is good for you unless you try it. So I’m happy I finally got to try myself at FAN EXPO, but that was the first and last time. Thanks to all of those who came to see me!
