My Weekend at #Conflux19 #WritingConvention!
How lucky am I? Last weekend, my wonderful hubbie drove the four hours from Sydney to Canberra to take me to a writing convention! It’s been years since I’ve been able to get down to Conflux, the Canberra Speculative Fiction Guild’s annual writing…
Come with me as I journey to Canberra for a long weekend of literary and iconic treats! #conflux19 @csfg.org.au
Massive thanks to the organisers of Conflux-19 here in Canberra. The effort that goes into bringing panelists and participants together to discuss a shared love of creativity and writing, is easily missed between discussions. None of it happens without volunteers, and it is appreciated. #Conflux19
Safely home again post #conflux19. As always my brain is buzzing with joy and creative energy. Thanks again to everyone - I missed the hell out of you all!
A last minute trip to #conflux19 has filled me full of ideas. The opportunity to talk to people who have travelled the path you dream about is both breathtakingly rare and slightly intimidating.
On my way home from #conflux19 and what a beautiful way that was to spend a weekend. Met some new friends, got inspired to write, and enlarged the TBR pile (quite a bit, actually). Win-win-win 🏆
Absolute joy today to wax lyrical about podcasts with @fearofemeralds.bsky.social , @adamrichard.com.au , Bart Meehan and A.D Ellicott at #conflux19. Would have liked to do four more hours.

Afternoon reading at #conflux19 with @fearofemeralds.bsky.social ‘s wonderfully dark and rich fairy tales. I had to pick ONE book of hers to buy this weekend and I think I chose well.
A conference panel with authors Lauren Ashman, Matt Tighe, Livia J. Elliot, Scott Steendma and Keith Stevenson.
First panel of Conflux 19! With @mktighewrites.bsky.social @keithstevenson.com @liviajelliot.com and Lauren Ashman. Thanks for a great conversation about science in hard SF, soft SF and fantasy magic systems. #SF #scifi #specfic #conflux19 #writing
Got my #Batman T-shirt on + my stormtrooper socks + packed a bag or books = must be time for #Conflux19 in Canberra! I’m on my way, see you soon @confluxconventions!

I'm on my way to #conflux19
It's my first sci-fi and fantasy con! Sorry #romancelandia it's not you, it's me—I'm looking to broaden my happy endings. This could work out for both of us, though.
Heading to #Conflux19 this weekend in Canberra, if you want to find me I'll be on three panels, "Video Killed the Radio Star" on Sunday at 1pm, "Something to Talk about" on Sunday at 2pm (toilet break notwithstanding) and "Help" on Monday at 3pm. Otherwise I'll be at the bar or the pool or both.
