A Notice for Those Attending Anticipation/WorldCon 09!

[lagilman]

I am stealing this directly from rolanni's LJ, as I am a lazy meerkat -- and also: What She Said, better than I could have.
--------------------------------------

"I bet you didn't know that there's going to be a writing workshop at Anticipation, aka The WorldCon, this year. Why am I willing to bet? Because there's a glitch at the WorldCon website and people -- worthy people, and brave new writers! -- have not been able to sign up for any of the sessions.

This is, you may say, too bad.

Since I'm one of the instructors/facilitators/evil-minded pros leading a section of this workshop {LAG: and so am I!], I agree. I mean, look -- I'm going to get up early in the morning, after no doubt having been up with friends into the small hours the night before. I am going to arrive, super-sized coffee in hand, at the Sooper Sekrit Location, ready to critique manuscripts and crush hopeful egos.

What do I not want to find, after making these various sacrifices in service of The Craft?

An empty room, that's what.

So!

If you're interested in attending the writing workshop, you need to act, act decisively, but most of all act now.

You have two options.

You may write to writers-workshop@anticipationsf.ca and ask for information about the writers workshop.

You may go here, read all about it, including a partial list of instructors, and write to Oz directly.

Or, yanno, you could do both.

You may also, please, pass this on to friends (or enemies) who might be interested."

Ha! Forwarded to my sweetie; he was saying that it was probably too late to sign up for any writing workshops.

I, on the other hand, am very much a reader, not a writer.

You'll be there? Hopefully I'll be able to wave at you at some point during the convention. Maybe even corner you with a book to sign. :-)

I will be there, yes. I even have a kaffeklatch where we could, y'know, klatch. Or you can find me in the Usual Spot...
