#genrecon last weekend was... disappointing. Given the price tag I expected in-depth advice, but most of it was surface-level stuff. E.g. the worldbuilding lecture focused on coming up with ideas - never touched how to actually apply them in a story. Did get some good bits, but not enough for $500.
Had a fantastic weekend at #GenreCon! Learned a lot from the panels and workshops, and had some great conversations with people. Looking forward to next time!
Feeling like I should do a #genrecon thread for posterity so if you’re interested follow along.

A bit terrified but I got through this before. And I have a book to champion, so must be courageous to get the work out.
Had a wonderful time at #GenreCon on the weekend! So many great speakers and panels, and meeting friends old and new. Feeling inspired and motivated.
Had an awesome time at #genrecon. Made a bunch of new friends and talked craft together. Now it's the week of BRAAAINS trying to recover. I'm kinda glad we left Brisbane before the impending weather of doom, though.
I spent such an amazing weekend in Brisbane for #GenreCon, with some of the loveliest, smartest and most inspiring writers I've ever met. Not to be genuine in main but I love this community. You make me believe that all my dreams are achievable.
So much #WritingCommnity at #GenreCon today. Reading my manuscript out loud to a room full of people?
I went through some things.

Great author workshop and wise words from the spookily creative Steff Green at #Genrecon
3 more hours.. #genrecon
On the way to Brisbane for genrecon, and my gate lounge is opposite the extremely fabulous Virgin Airline disco flight. This explains the large numbers of peoples in sequins, rainbow suits, cowboy hats and other visual delights. I feel like I'm going to the wrong place! #mardigras #genrecon
