Before I give you the blog tour update, let me give you some links I think you might find helpful and/or interesting.
ConDFW was amazing. Seriously, if you need a jumpstart in your writing, go. If you want to get up-close-and-personal with other writers, whether they are unpublished, self-published, traditionally published, or blockbuster bestsellers? Go. If you want to learn important and new things? Go. If you want to chill and be surrounded by people who 'get' you and understand what you're doing?
GO.
Next year, be there. And come up and say hi, if I don't see you first.
One of my current students, Dell Parvin, wrote an unexpected but fascinating blog entry about his experience.
Also, I keep forgetting to tell you about this book, Wonderbook, which is the most beautiful and amazing book about writing you'll ever see. I carried it into class and half the class ordered it from Amazon that day. That I know of, maybe more. They're the ones who told me they did!
I'm reminded of it because it just was announced as a Finalist in the Locus Awards.
Today [Wednesday] I am Q&Aing on Suzanne Johnson’s blog, and giving away a gift card to some lucky commenter. So go, read and comment! I’d love one of you to be the winner!
First question:
Give us the “elevator pitch” for your latest work?
Hunger Games meets Jane Austen. [Okay, dark and edgy tale of young, magical heroine in the time of Jane Austen.]
Also, tomorrow is a big huge lollapalooza of a blog tour day, with three simultaneous entries on three different sites, all linked back and forth for the fun and sheer madness of it! Don’t miss it!
BLOG TOUR:
May 5: The Word Wenches How Research Gave Me the Home I Didn’t Want and the World I Needed
May 6: Get Lost in a Story Welcome Patricia Burroughs Q&A
Mary Robinette Kowal: My Favorite Bit: Patricia Burroughs
