The theme this year was prescient for 2018, eh?
Montana did not let us down. The convention was once again a meeting of like-minded individuals mingling and making a family of strangers. There’s a reason we attend this convention every year without fail. You won’t find a nicer group of people anywhere.
This was the first year where I was panelist. I did 50 minutes of improvisation and passion on how to use Twitter as a Tool instead of a Distraction. There were handouts and hashtags and helpful questions and audience participation. It was a BLAST, and I really hope I get to do it again next year!
Brandon Sanderson was the Writing Guest of Honor. I took notes on his Three Laws of Magic, Retrofitting Structure, and World-building. I’ll share a post with the tips I learned, and link up to his helpful videos.
I also met a new-to-me author, Brenda Carre. Because I was lucky enough to have a birthday in July, I won a copy of one of her books! A post about her ability to ground the reader and how to use maps effectively is coming.
The ever-entertaining Krista Wallace and Rhiannon Held did a panel on Collaborative Brainstorming. There was role-playing, which takes guts. They did a great job! I’ll try to decipher my notes to share.
So – at least three posts coming! Thanks for your patience while I settle back in. I also have a self-imposed deadline of June 7th for finishing the Ferals & Blights revision so I can participate in #PitMad. I hope some of you are going to throw your query hats into the ring! If you want to, but aren’t sure how, hit me up in the comments!
Good luck on your deadline!
