What is bringing you joy today?

I'm just back from #WFC2024 and the programming was fantastic. Saw old friends and made new ones.

Definite highlight was listening to @wlbolm read from their stunning WIP (novel). So excited to see it published and read the final product! Also, I got to meet @wlbolm, and they are a delight!

Okay I want to go up in the balloon to see the falls after my 5pm panel on queer fantasy. Who wants to walk over at 6pm with me from World Fantasy?

This makes me think of a few people - one in particular, Tom Whittemore (deceased now something like 12, 13 years). I was in a critique group with Tom for several years & always valued his ability to figure out what the story was about.
There have been others (my wife's really good at this, too), but Tom comes to mind because I'm going to #wfc2024 this weekend & that's a place he'd've loved to be.

Well, it might seem scary until you actually practice it enough, but the answer is: figure out what you’re writing, figure out what kind of story it is, strip away the things that don’t matter, and build up from there.
