As I am about to head off on the road for the better part of the week, I think now is a good time to remind folks that I will be attending RavenCon in Richmond, Virginia next weekend, April 24-26.
At present, this is the only science fiction convention I’ll be attending in 2015.
My friend Allen Steele will be there, as will Jack McDevitt. RavenCon is the first convention I ever attended after selling my first story back in 2007 so it holds a special place in my heart.
On Sunday, April 26, Bud Sparhawk and I will be giving a talk on “Plotters vs. Pantsers,” Bud being the “plotter” and yours truly being the “pantser.” We’ve done a version of this with respect to online writing tools at Capclave, but this talk is focused on the two methods and their respective advantages and disadvantages. It should be a fun talk if you can make it.
I’ll be arriving in Richmond around lunchtime on Friday, and staying through the convention, so if you think you’ll be there, and you see, say hello.
Please say “Howdy” to my old hometown for me! And if you need recommendations on restaurants or non-con sights and attractions, let me know.
I’ll be there! I’ve loved a lot of your posts, you’re a good writer. I’ll be wearing a fourth doctor outfit that I look like an idiot in!
