Library Boy
Last night, the Cary Public Library had an SF in NC event that featured three local writers: David Drake, John Kessel, and me. Dan Brooks organized the event and led the discussion, which took place in the tiered reading place for kids' books. We got to sit under a small cover with a nice curtain; I had to fight the urge to throw a play.
Check it out:
Over two dozen people turned up, which was a nice surprise--even though quite a few were folks we knew. Dan asked several questions, which we took turns answering, and then we fielded questions from the audience. We discussed what drew us to science fiction, our earliest writing experiences, our writing processes, and other related topics.
The show ran almost fifteen minutes long, but no one seemed to mind, and several folks stayed afterward and chatted.
My thanks to Dan for organizing such a nice event, and to Dave and John for being swell fellow panelists.

I hope you stole Drake's pen. That's crazy all three of you live so close...
Nah, I have my own. Dave's about 50 minutes away from me in one direction, and John about 25 in another.
Pens. There's an interesting blog post. Do you write your first draft longhand? Do you prefer one pen to another? Gel, rollerball, fountain pen - what's your preference? Colored ink.? And paper... don't even get me started with paper...
I'll ponder writing an entry about that.
Was your talk before or after the puppet show? Does look a bit out of place for the sort of books you fellas write......Chris....
I think we were the intro act for the puppet show, but I'm not sure. It was odd, but in a fun way.
I'd like to see a post about your writing process as it would sure give a good insight......Chris.....
Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I may well do some of those soon.
I thought it looked like a medieval castle, but puppet show works, too.
A really low-rent medieval castle, perhaps.
