As promised, here’s the second post of the weekend. I’ll be at Capclave on Sept. 29th – Oct 1st. As always, I’m so excited and it’ll be wonderful to meet up with old friends and make new ones.

Here’s my schedule:

• Rejections Happen – Saturday, Sept 30th @ 10am EST
  • The life of a writer involves hearing many variations of the word “no.” Rejection comes with the territory but that does not make it easier to experience. Panelists discuss coping with rejection, how to continue writing through them, and what you can learn from receiving a no.
  • Panelists: A. T. Greenblatt, Ef Deal, Nate Hoffelder, R. Z. Held, Scott Edelman
• Author Reading: A.T. Greenblatt – Saturday, Sept 30th @ 12pm EST
  • Don’t know what I’ll read yet. Open to suggestions.
• Friendships in Science Fiction and Fantasy – Sunday, Sept 30th @ 10am EST
  • Romance is great and who doesn’t love a good archnemesis — but what about your friends? Our panelists discuss the value of best friends, loyal quest-mates, and found family in science fiction and fantasy.
  • Panelists: A. T. Greenblatt, Jo Miles, Lawrence M. Schoen , Martin Berman-Gorvine, Randee Dawn
• Writing Through Adversity – Sunday, Sept 30th @ 11:30am EST
  • Writing is hard enough but writers are also full human beings dealing with obstacles that can make it difficult to maintain a creative practice. From financial and family responsibilities to chronic pain and other mental and physical challenges, panelists talk openly about coping with daily pressures that often interfere with one’s writing life
  • Panelists:  A. T. Greenblatt, R. Z. Held, Samantha Katz, Sarah Avery, Scott Edelman

If you’re going to be at Capclave this year, please come say hi!
