The panel with Madeline, Taka, and Ann was a lovely time. We appeared with host Candice, owner of Tubby and Coo’s bookshop and talked about the new book Being Aro for about an hour. It was a cozy little event where we shared our perspectives and discussed various aspects of the book, including how we felt about the process, what we thought was important about aromantic literature, and personal thoughts on the stories’ development. As the only person on the panel whose contribution was nonfiction (I wrote the introduction!), I was a little bit the odd one out and couldn’t contribute to some of the questions, but that was fine with me. (Sadly I was also having a low-energy day after a pretty bad day at the eye doctor’s, and wasn’t able to see super well. A headache was brewing and it probably showed. I did my best!)
