Day 3 digs for #NWC48. The beaded scarf was handmade for me by my mother. 😃

New day at #nwc48. I am not on any panels today. But I plan to attend quite a few. Plus the art show. And many other cool things to see. But first some breakfast.
Shameless plug, but my first sci-fi series is available at the Bardhwood Book Nook right next to registration. Get your signed copy!
A few from yesterday's #nwc48 activities yesterday. Lots of fun!

#nwc48
However I have one more panel Sunday at noon in Evergreen 3 and 4. Please come see me there. Also you can reach out if you'd like to meet sometime this weekend. #nwc48
Sorry to everyone and anyone that came or tuned in on Twitch to watch me read @norwescon.org. I've not really got a good reason I was skipped on the reading other than they didnt know I was there. But they were very apologetic for the mistake. Maybe next year. #nwc48
Nuggets from my notes from #NWC48 so far:
1. "Creativity does not respond to force."
2. "If you're writing for kids I recommend interacting with them."
3. Track each day's progress. Give yourself credit for choices and brainstorms.
4. Don't let early failures stop you. Learning requires failure.
I and other authors are doing a live reading at Norwescon in just 30 minutes in Cascade 9. #nwc48 Come show some support. Or you can watch it live on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/norwescon
Today at #NWC48: saw many friends, talked on a panel, gave out many business cards. (Must refill for tomorrow.)
Many plans have been planned. I'm tired but happy.

Super fun second day @norwescon.org including lunch with @gabrielle-h.bsky.social! Nothing like chatting about publishing over a salad. And a much welcomed cup of coffee. Fun to meet the brains behind Shiraki Press too. #nwc48
There's more! Check out the open Filk Circle at 9:30 p.m. in Evergreen 3 & 4 - and the 9 p.m. panel on filk circle etiquette first! And finally, the Black Light Rave with DJ mc300baud at 9:30 p.m. in Grand 3. Friday night at #NWC48 is packed! (🧵2/2)
Enjoy alternate history? Poetry? Ghosts? Come to my #NWC48 reading tomorrow (Saturday) at 11:30! We’ll have all of the above. builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/n...
Reading is tonight at #nwc48 8pm to 10pm in Cascade 9. I'll be reading from one of my newest novels. Which one should I read from? Revelation of Secrets or A Conflict of Destiny and Desire?

Many great authors will be reading.
Five panelists, two in costume, sit at a long table and prepare for a poetry discussion.

Day 2 @norwescon.org. At 11am, I'm talking about describing jobs accurately in fiction...or how I created an entire family of graveyard maintenance people in City of the Dead and a rough-and-tumble film company in Mask of Silver. #nwc48

A captioning screen that says, “Welcome to Norwescon. Close enough.” Apparently the tech was less enthusiastic than the people were.
From the opening ceremonies, our five guests of honor (two men and three women) seated on stage under a projection screen showing the Norwescon logo over art of a young girl reading a book to a dragon in a field of flowers. On stage from left to right are body painter Dutch Bihary, Bradley Engelert of Orbit Books, astrophysicist Summer Ash, artist Geneva Bowers, author Ursula Vernon a.k.a. T. Kingfisher, and host Jon Lavinder.
During the “how to fandom dance” panel, a small group of people on a dance floor are in a circle with one in the center mid-jump; in the foreground is a laptop running DJ software playing Boney M’s “Rasputin”.
During the dance, I stand on stage behind a table with a laptop and DJ mixer. The stage is lit in blues and greens. Behind me is a large projection screen showing fancy graphics, including the art for the songs being played and the artist and title of the currently playing track. Two Daleks flank me on either side of the stage. Photo courtesy of Pascale, one of the attendees.
Yesterday was Norwescon day one! A morning of helping to get things prepped, lunch and a necessary nap time, then the evening run of the opening ceremonies, providing music for the “how to fandom dance” panel, and them DJing the Thursday night dance. The […]
