FogCon
I’m going to FogCon, doing a reading, and will even appear on panels for the first time ever! I will try not to be terrified, but I can’t promise.
Friday, 8:00 p.m.
Santa Rosa – Reading! All readings are shared readings, and I got to share mine with two amazing authors. Come listen to some great fiction!
Saturday, 3:00 p.m.
Salon B/C – Look, Mom, I’m a Unicorn
Shapechangers have been beloved in stories and mythology since the dawn of the human race. The idea of shifting into another body opens a ton of questions about identity and self-perception. What are some of the best examples in fiction of shapechangers? What can go terribly wrong with shapechanging? What happens when there are no limits?
Saturday, 4:30 p.m.
Sacramento – You Are Not Your Rejection Slips
Learn techniques for coping with the inevitable ups and downs of a writing career. How can you maintain a sense of self-worth after a hundred rejection slips? How do you handle the feelings of being simultaneously the most brilliant writer ever and the biggest pile of s*** in the field?
I love my little town and I love my family, but man, I am so ready to hang out with some of you people. WorldCon seems like a really long time ago.
Hope to see you there!
