Albacon

[pbray]

Albacon has posted their preliminary schedule, so here's where I'll be this coming weekend:

Friday, 5PM, That Little Shop in Schenectady: where writers get their ideas

Saturday, 10AM, Science Fiction Films We Love

Saturday, 2PM, Nontraditional fantasy settings

Sunday, 10AM, Do you Outline or not?

Oddly enough, Joshua Palmatier and I aren't on any panels together, perhaps a punishment for past sins (but the brains were so tasty! honest!)

Anyway, if you're there, be sure to stop by and say "Hi!"

I'm betting it will be 50/50 as well, and we'll stare at each other with the mutual confusion and suspicion that is more often characteristic of the Coke vs Pepsi debate. :-)

Now see, with Coke vs. Pepsi, I have to confess I can't tell the difference! Good simile, though. Or do I mean metaphor?

I'd call it an analogy, since I'm a CompSci major at heart.

Don't forget the followon question: If you outline, does the book you produce bear any resemblance whatsoever to the outline?

(We can't ALL envision the events of book 3 when setting out to write book 1 of a trilogy, you know...)

Good point! There's nothing saying that you have to follow the outline, or even that the outline is at all helpful when you get to the actual writing part.
