This weekend I am attending WorldCon 76. This is a writing/fan con, and the first that I’ve attended as an author. I’m looking forward to classes like

• Writing About Fighting
• Self-Publishing 101
• Young Adult: Looking at the World Through a Skewed Lens
• Successfully Negotiating Book Contracts
• New Ancestral Myths
• Deep Dive: Idea Versus Story

I won’t have a post Friday or Monday because of the convention, unless there’s some downtime at the con.

This con is aimed primarily at Science Fiction writers, but it’s only twenty minutes away, and I can easily transfer the lessons to romance. And who’s to say I might not want to turn my head that way? I’ve already had a sci-fi story published in Coming Together: Among the Stars. So I’ve learned to never say never about a certain genre.

Signing up for this con and looking at the classes makes me so sad that I couldn’t go to the Romance Writers of America convention this year, and makes me determined to go next year.
