ksmith | Final Wiscon Programming

...and I find myself lighter by two panels, which doesn't really disappoint. I thought the schedule looked a little heavy--I'm not used to getting more than a couple of items.

More time to veg at the Bar.

Lightning Write (The Craft And Business of Writing SF&F)

Is it practice or parlor game? Everyone brings a one line quotation, favorite phrase, or theme. Mix them up and get one back. Write for ten minutes and incorporate in the the line or theme. Then switch, and the next person adds on. Switch with someone again and 5 minutes to finish up. Time is left for sharing the results. Prizes for dramatic readers. No writer credentials required. Silly to seraphic, it's all about sparking creative minds.

Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading (Readings)
Saturday, 4:00-5:15 p.m. in Assembly

The Author's Blog: Does It Help? Does It Hurt? (The Craft And Business of Writing SF&F) Sunday, 2:30-3:45 p.m.

Many SF/F writers post entries to the web -- works in progress, comments on work already out there, and more. This panel will discuss the benefits and pitfalls authors have encountered online. Come listen and consider what works and what doesn't.
