I am now officially a graduate of the 2009 Clarion West Workshop.
It was an amazing experience, and I learned a tremendous amount—including a good measure of confidence that I do in fact know what the heck I’m doing. To have that time to focus on writing and becoming better at my craft was a gift that I am so happy to have been given.
I posted a few updates on Livejournal while I was there: One, Two, Three, Four, Five, and Six--and the 'I'm back' post. Now I’m in recovery mode, doing some rewrites, and settling into my life. I have a couple of short stories that are just about ready to be sent out to markets, so I’m focusing on getting those ready to go and doing some rewriting on Shadows and Silk so I can start sending out query letters to agents.
