It is a sad day as it is the last weekend of our vacation but what a two weeks we have had. First we picked up our daughter from her grandparents where she had been for a month. Then we made our way to Gen Con for the best four days of gaming. Gen Con really needs to be five or six days because there is so much to do.
This was our first year and we didn’t see everything. In fact we didn’t even make it to all the hosting venues. I really enjoyed the writer’s symposium and wished I had attended more of those events. Now that Gen Con is over, it is time to get busy with goals for this year and beyond.
One seminar I did attend was Writing a Novel in 21 Days. It isn’t writing a novel but preparing to write a novel in 21 days. Each day has a different exercise that forces you to get to know your characters, scenes, and plot. Today I completed Day One for a novel idea and hopefully in 20 days I will be prepared to write it. I am excited as it is an idea that I just can’t seem to get out of my head so it’s best to put it on paper (or screen!) and see what happens.
