Writing Discussion--The Dark Lord
Jul. 9th, 2007 09:18 amOk, I'm back from Readercon, which was a blast. It was the first time I'd gone, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Overall, perhaps a little too literary for me, but I enjoyed the panels I was on, spent a fortune in the dealers room, which consisted of ONLY booksellers, and had a blast meeting old friends and making new ones. Thanks for
pbray, everyone made sure I actually ate during the con (
clarkesworld,
elaine_brennan,
eiriene, and Sam Butler [who isn't on LJ, but who should be]). I got to meet with my agent (who gave me cookies!) and we discussed the new book, the paranormal horror novel I wrote before Skewed Throne, and future plans to take over the world. It was a good talk.
Unfortunately, the free access to the internet was either killed by excessive use or just eliminated by the hotel because of excessive use, and so I didn't get to post my weekly writing tip/discussion on Friday as usual. So I'm posting it now. This is a discussion based on one of the panels at Readercon, but I want to make it clear that this is NOT what was discussed at the panel. This is my opinion on the topic, and only my opinion, and I'm interested in what everyone else might think, whether you agree or disagree. So here we go!
( Read more . . . if you dare! )
And now, to go write. It's killer hot here (and will be for the next few days) but now that I'm back from the con I need to get back in the writing groove for Novel in 90. Next con will be Confluence in Pittsburgh, but that's 3 weeks away. That's 3 more chapters I need to write before then. Later!
