Just arrived safely at #EuroPLoP and got my very nicely drawn conference T-shirt.

I guess @thephd would have liked the design.

#EuroPloP will be a nice time off after moving back into our home after almost a year of renovation work being done. No lugging and unpacking of boxes, searching where I placed stuff etc. I hope my back and muscles will feel better afterwards.

That time of the year when one prints the stack of #EuroPLoP papers to read before the writer's workshop.

Not for fiction writers but for writers (still technical in some ways)

The #EuroPLoP
https://www.europlop.net/

"Gain from EuroPLoP’ s intensive process of shepherding, reviews, and peer discussions at Writers’ Workshops which will yield a high-quality publication."

As the process for EuroPLoP involves shepherding (working with another person, the shepherd, on improving your "paper") of your contribution up front, it is already to late to submit a paper for this year. But participating is still very valuable.
It is (or at least was) the only conference i know which has scheduled nap-time during the day.

The venue #KlosterIrsee is also very nice
