Con report: Con.txt slash convention 2008
No offense intended against professional authors - I'm one myself, after all - but sometimes I'm on a forum for pro authors, and they're talking about submissions and contracts and marketing and sales figures and are saying things like, "Should I tell the tale from a different point of view? Would that make the story sell better?" and "Should I change this scene? Would that make the story sell better?" and "Should I use one-and-a-half-inch margins rather than one-inch margins? Would that make the story sell better?" and I just want to scream.
So here's to amateur fiction conventions, that oasis where the writing conversations center on whether the story was fun to write and fun to read.
