Phew, a full weekend with #Nebulas2024 , #WriteHive2024 and reviewing the production proofs for my novel. I'll be continuing to watch asynchronous conference sessions as I take breaks from the proofs this week. #writing #WritingCommunity
Just attended the last session (for me) of #WriteHive2024 which was 'Marginalized Genders in Fiction', with the following panellists: Finnian Burnett, J.R. Hart, C.M. Kuhtz and C.L. Polk (XM Moon moderating). Very interesting topic and discussion! #conference #writers
Enjoyed attending the 'Show and Tell: What Works and What Writers Get Wrong' at #WriteHive2024, with panellists Megan Bontrager, XM Moon (moderator), Tatiana Obey, Jill Tew and Tyler Wittkofsky. #conference #writers
Just attended the panel discussion between Hannah Kates and Matthew Phillion on 'Bringing Writing to the Table with TTRPGs' to #WriteHive2024. I had some fun discussion there, although it's been a few years since I've played/refereed an RPG. #conference #writers #RolePlayingGames
Earlier today, I attended an interesting live panel (over Zoom) at #WriteHive2024. This was about 'Using Non-Fiction Venues to Help Promote Your Fiction Writing' and was delivered by #horror writer and academic Rhonda Jackson Garcia. #conference #writers
Enjoyed watching Nicholas W. Fuller's interview of #WriteHive2024 Guest of Honour, Zamil Ahktar, author of Gunmetal Gods. It was a very smooth and comfortable interview - it almost felt like the attendees were seated around a coffee table as the interviewer and guest spoke. :)
Forgot to mention earlier that I had attended the 'Marginalization and the Querying Process' panel at #WriteHive2024, with panellists Keir Alekseii, Lauren Davila, Salinee Goldenberg, Patchree Jones and Adria Bailton (moderator). Some interesting topics covered there but it was good to hear that things seem to be changing for the better for marginal writers. #conference #writing
Just attended the interesting 'LGBTQ+ Trad vs Self Publishing' panel at #WriteHive2024, with panellists Claudie Arseneault, Finnian Burnett, KD Edwards and Christen Randall (moderated by XM Moon). #conference #writing
Just attended an interesting panel on 'Tackling Procrastination and Creating a Routine' with Cyndi Brec, S. Morgan Burbank, Kate DeMaio, Kristin Jacques and C.M. Lockhart at #WriteHive2024. Might check out some of the software they recommend in the course of their discussion.
Just had fun attending the 'Fear Factors: A Horror Genre Master Class' with Zamil Akhtar, Rhonda Jackson Garcia, Brad Lee and Amanda B. Weaver at #WriteHive2024. I think I'll be rewatching the presentations of this and other panels over the next couple of weeks to pick up on stuff I missed while I was commenting in the diuscussion.
