Sandra Wickham’s small but marvellous Creative Ink Con is over for another year. I sat on three panels, the first on adding mystery to your fiction, the second on creating believable characters, and the last with my friend, beta-reader (and generous editor), Wendy Phillips. That one was about the limits of YA, and we were thankful for an interested and interactive audience. As usual, all my anxiety about sounding intelligent dissolved into a haze of good conversation and new acquaintances.
This con is always fun and informative, more about the ‘how to’ than the fan side of things. Highly recommended next year for those wanting to boost the writing side of their lives.
