My fault &#8211; I had a Professional registration, but received my renewal email when I was working to get a novel to the publisher and read the REGISTRATION DUE email as NOT DUE. Found out like the day after the professional registration closed. And then, even though I was reading the Toucan blog that announces such things, I was so busy working on another project that I missed Attendee Preregistration. And, as of now, even though I\u2019m in line \u2026 it\u2019s sold out:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Screenshot-2016-02-20-09.42.40.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"175\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016-02-20 09.42.40.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That happened while I was typing the above paragraph.

I\u2019d wondered if I would go back this year, but if I was not to go back, I\u2019d prefer not to go back, like, on purpose, not through oversight, accident and bad luck. I look forward to going again next year. But perhaps I should focus less on going like a fan and more on doing the work that will get me invited there as a guest.<\/p>\n<p>As my wife would say, focusing on making my next creative project spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n<p>Update: while posting this \u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dresan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Screenshot-2016-02-20-09.51.27.png\" width=\"600\" height=\"179\" alt=\"Screenshot 2016-02-20 09.51.27.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>O.M.G.
