[Conventions] ConDFW XI – February 17-19, 2012 – My Schedule
FRIDAY
There is a YardDog Press Road Show at 9 p.m. – I will be participating in that.
But they’ve given me the rest of my birthday off.
SATURDAY
Panel Room 3 – Canterbury
11am – The Golden Rule – Why Should We Follow It if No One Else Is?
Panelists: Kevin Hosey (M), Chris Donahue, K. Hutson, A.P. Stephens, Rhonda Eudaly
Most editors are steadfast in that new writers should follow the rules in writing fiction. Fiction classes in college teach realism, and never teach how to imagine. However, many successful writers don’t follow those same rules. How does an aspiring writer travel the narrow line of double standards? Our panelists debate these topics and more.
Panel Room 2 – Manchester
1pm – Leaving Clues in Mysteries
Panelists: Teresa Patterson (M), Julie Barrett, Rhonda Eudaly, P.N. Elrod, Bill Crider
A mystery is not a mystery if it is easily solved, not is it a mystery if it can’t be solved at all. Leaving clues can be difficult, especially if they are too obvious, or too subtle. And that’s before you have clever villains who leave red herrings as clues! Our resident sleuths tell us how to leave a clue in a way that the story moves forward.
Readings:
4 pm – Jaye Wells, Rhonda Eudaly, Dusty Rainbolt
Panel Room 3 – Canterbury
5pm – Redheads of the Apocalypse
Panelists: Julia Mandala, Rhonda Eudaly, Linda Donahue, Dusty Rainbolt
Yes, it’s that time again – and the craziness that is the Redheads of the Apocalypse are doing a press
conference about a new book called “Redheads in Loveâ€. Should be a lot of fun, and they’ll answer any
questions you have…
Signings:
6 pm – Julia Mandala, Dusty Rainbolt, Rhonda Eudaly
NOTE: If I run away right after this, it’s either to eat to save my feet. 3 hours of heels! Whee!!!!
SUNDAY
Panel Room 3 – Canterbury
1pm – Don’t Quit Your Day Job!
Panelists: Julie Barrett, Melanie Fletcher (M), Mark Finn, Rhonda Eudaly
A popular panel from last year, we bring the perennial topic back: what does one do to survive while waiting for your big break? Our panelists share horror stories of what they had to do to survive, and offer advice on what you can do as well.
SUBJECT TO LAST MINUTE CHANGE!!!!
