Windycon: Days Two and Three

Yesterday was so action-packed that I immediately fell into bed and vowed to post a comprehensive update when Windycon was finally over.  Saturday was chock full great panels that discussed everything from creating believable characters to how SF/F has helped push boundaries and address societal taboos.  Combined with a Celtic folk rock concert from Tricky Pixie and a fun art auction, the panels made Saturday fly by.

Sunday morning was dedicated to a writers workshop where I had the chance to get eight separate critiques on a chapter from my work-in-progress.  It was amazing to get so many fresh eyes on the piece, and the advice I gained regarding breaking down and strengthening the story will be essential for my rewrites.  It was a wonderful way to close out the weekend and propel me back into writing.
