Ooo! Squeeful!
Jun. 29th, 2008 08:22 pmI remember reading on
matociquala's LJ a while back that a writer has a to do list that factors in years.
I've just been asked to speak at a conference - in 2010! It's the Polyverse Poetry Festival and will be held in Loughborough. They want me to yak about Gay Historical Fiction (yes, well - there's bugger all I know anything else about) I doubt they'll be interested in a discussion of the the relative hotnessess of Solid Snake and Sam Fisher and the merits of rubber sneaking suits.... A girl can dream... Actually - come to think of it, I doubt even a Gamers' Conference would be interested in that kind of lecture.
OH - and I forgot to mention - if you comment over at the Risky Regency Blog post I did today, you might win a copy of Speak Its Name. There are only three comments so far, and one of them has already read it...
*TEMPTY*
I've applied to Norfolk County Council Adult Education Department offering my skillz as a Adult Ed tutor. There's a creative writing course already in place but there's nothing called something like "So you've written a book, now what?" or something like that. I could easily run a ten-week course on that subject, there's a lot to cover, so fingers crossed. The money is pretty good, I think - something like £20 an hour? Will keep you posted.
