Just a reminder. The CONduit convention begins on Friday. I’ll be holding a 2-hour workshop on Saturday titled “The 3 Things You Must Learn to Write Killer Stories” from 2 PM - 4 PM.

The rest of the day on Saturday is loaded with a number of great panels featuring authors such as:

• Michael Stackpole
• Brandon Sanderson
• L.E. Modesitt Jr.
• Mette Harrison
• Eric James Stone
• James Dashner
• Julie Wright
• Dan Wells
• Ann Chamberlin
• And many more 

If you look at the schedule, you’ll see sessions on

• making your own chain mail
• iron-age celts
• drawing monsters
• writing
• jewelry making
• filking, which is just live music, which you can join in on 
• Ice cream social
• A masquerade
• And, for those of you who have been dying to learn, belly dancing (I don’t need to go to that one: my belly dances all by itself already, alas)  

You authors, remember there’s a writers/publishers/editors social Friday night at 10 PM at the hotel bar.

Hope to see you there!

I’ve posted two new writer’s lessons that discuss how emotion works and the essential parts of story.
