Backdated entries posted!

[annathepiper]

Just in case folks are interested, I have posted a few offline journal entries I wrote while I was at Writer's Weekend. I didn't get to write about the whole conference just because I was too busy attending the programming and actually editing Faerie Blood on Saturday and Sunday, but I do have posts up now for the first two days, as well as a couple of shorter posts for those of you folks in my Writing filter. Y'all can find those posts here:

Day 1 of Writer's Weekend

Some of Day 2 of Writer's Weekend

Writing post #1 (Writing filter)

Writing post #2 (Writing filter)

I did take extensive notes all throughout the conference and will be posting writeups for Saturday and Sunday's programming as soon as I get a chance. Watch this space for further details!

what's the reqirements for being added to the writer filter? do i have to be published? do anthologies count? i got poetry and stories out. in german, of course. please add me. i'd like to read what business is like on you side of the pond. what's different and what's just the same old tale of piled up frustration. cheers.

The only requirement to be added to my Writing filter is to be interested in my babbling about my writing; you don't have to be a writer yourself. :) I will happily add anybody who wants into the filter! I just use a filter on those posts because I make so many of them and don't want to spam folks who aren't specifically interested in my in-depth posts about that stuff.

You're in the filter now, you should see the Writing posts. :)

cheers. i love talking about writing. though seeing as i'm still at university, i'm quite a bit away from jumping into the pool of sharks for real. i know i have talent, and a couple awards to proove it. but that's all. i'm not sure, really what i want to do after school. i used to have a lifeplan. it included getting a doctorate and becoming a scholar. moving to canada to teach and research radical political theory. but then my mum died very suddenly last year and i am struggling very hard to finish my master's degree at all, let alone go on to get a PhD. *shrugs* you cannot really make longterm plans when you're busy mourning. you have no vision whatsoever.
anyway, i'm sure i'll enjoy reading your writers' posts. can i ask questions? even though i'm a rookie?

[annathepiper]

Please feel free to ask me any questions you like, though I'm barely past the rookie stage myself. :) I've only gotten to the point of having a complete manuscript to submit and actually sending stuff out! mizkit and shadowhwk have been invaluable to me in this regard, and I'd be delighted to pass on what I've learned from them.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother's death, though. :( Mine died when I was 16, and indeed, that does really get in the way of life plans!

Can I be on the writing filter too?

[annathepiper]

Sure can! Done!
