Word-hoard
horaphthia: a neurotic preoccupation with one's youth

Jack London Writers Conference was...well, I don't know. I saw the breakfast keynote but had to leave for personal reasons right after that. What I do know is I saw pretty much the same group of people I saw there 2 years ago (same thing happened at SFWC) and that was very depressing for some reason.

Also? I had a shockingly rude and very disappointing interaction with a Famous Author.

A note to those of you who will be famous authors someday: don't be a dick.

Another note to those of you who will be famous authors someday: we're not curing cancer here, people. We're writing, and it is important, but YOU are not any more important than anyone else.

  1. Hmmm...now you've got me wondering who the jerk was. Is.

    Sounds a little disappointing overall.
