lagilmanAnd lo, I have my initial DragonCon schedule, so here's a handy-dandy guide to stalking me there, and this coming weekend at WorldCon...
WorldCon
Bio-Ethics Thu 12:30
Medical experiments, drug companies, cloning, insurance, bookies and you.
Writing Workshop L Fri 11:00
Critique session for previously submitted manuscripts
Sci-Ku -- SF Haiku Fri 14:00
Try your own hand at 17 syllables of geeky fun. (kids programming, but we can adjust for accompanied adults)
Preparing to Write a Series Fri 15:30
How does a writer plan to write a series? Or is it unplanned until you sign the contract? Writers discuss how they set up and wrote novels that are part of a "series."
Writing Across Boundaries: Writers that Shift Boundaries Fri 19:00
What do you do differently as you shift from one type of story to another, from genre to genre, from medium to medium? What do different modes of story require in the planning?
non-panel events:
Autograph Session Sat 11:30
Author Reading Sun 12:30
Kaffeeklatsch Sun 17:00
DragonCon
What Women Want in Their SF-F role Sat 11:30 am
Plenty of panels discuss what women's roles are, have been, and will be in science fiction, but what do women really want when they read? [on the surface this panel sounds sexist -- don't we want what all readers want? -- but we should be able to own the topic within a few seconds, and make it actually useful for readers and writers -- and publishers]
Writing Paranormal Fiction Sun 11:30 am
Join Bob Blackwood and Gail Martin as they moderate a discussion with paranormal fiction writers.
Strong Female Protagonists: Sun 01:00 pm
How do you write strong female protagonists who are still vulnerable enough to seem real? The pros tell how to develop believable heroines. [again, the topic feels... odddly sexist. A female must be vulnerable to be real? I intend to mix this one up a little, if I can get the audience behind me...]
Not a bad lineup, for a first-timer who isn't on the comics or tie-in track.There may also be a reading and/or signing, depending on schedule. If not, I'll make myself available to folk who want to do an informal somethingorother... And we have both:
Reading = Friday at 2:30pm
Autographing = Monday, 11:30am
