So I didn't know what to blog about this week, mostly because I'm under deadline for the newsletter and that's a lot of deadline. BUT then inspiration hit in the form of the Life, the Universe & Everything conference schedule for the FREE writing conference in February at BYU!! It's gonna be so fun. See the schedule here.
And check out these totally awesome tidbits from the schedule:
Thursday Main speaker: James C. Christensen...enough said.
Friday afternoon Dan Wells is giving a workshop on his pacing and story structure program. PEOPLE! This is one hour of hard core writing organizational boot camp. Can't wait.
Friday main address: Marty Brenneis. I had no idea who he was, so I googled him. It turns out that if there has been a cool Sci-Fi or Fantasy movie in the last 20 years he has worked on it. You can find info on Marty Brenneis on IMDb.
Saturday Main speaker: Brandon Sanderson...enough said.
This year the conference planners seem to have chosen a major artist, filmmaker, and author for the three main addresses and let's face it that just rocks!
Awesome authors and Publishing folks planning to present:
The aMAZEing James Dashner, bright newbie Karen Hoover(debut author), the multi-talented author/editor Lisa Mangum, the Fable-istic Brandon Mull, the fantabulous Tristi Pinkston, the queen of romance Julie Wright, scary but likable Dan Wells, the extraordinary Stacy Whitman and many many more.
Here is the tiny disclaimer...all scheduling is tentative at this time. Still I can't wait.

Love! Love! Love! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteIf I can make it, I'm definitely going to aim for Friday afternoon for "Killer Openings" and the Dan Wells pacing/story structure deal. It's awesome that it's FREE.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to go. I love LTUE.
ReplyDeleteI am practically giggling like a school girl in anticipation.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that'll be fun. Jim Christensen is one of my favorite people (I have his 2010 calendar up on my wall, for example).
ReplyDeleteHey, can anyone hear giggling? There must be a giddy schoolgirl around here somewhere.
