Skinny bandwidth yields tiny posts
I'm sorry, because I had planned to post a few pics each day and write more, but the bandwidth here is so bad that I can't even stay connected for long. Heck, I can't even reliably send email.
So, the brief version:
Today, I participated in my last two con functions.
First up was a panel on finance for writers. Each of the panelists brought a different perspective to the topic, so the conversation was far more interesting and lively than I had expected. The audience stayed engaged throughout, so I can't complain.
Next was a writing workshop in which I and another professional writer critiqued manuscripts from three folks still trying to break into the field. I'm a firm believer that what happens in workshops must stay in them, so I will say only that I think the participants got value from the critiques. (I should note that I normally turn these down and have for some time, but the organizer is a friend who needed one more person, so I was happy to help.)
I hope to sleep a great deal tonight.

Dear Mark,
Say, what did you read the previous day?
And who was the other 'teacher' at the workshop? (That isn't secret, is it?)
As always,
Dave
I gave the audience a choice of five options, and they selected the beginning and a relatively recent section of the crime novel.
Alex Shvartsman, whom I had not met previously.
