When Your Story Doesn’t Turn Out Like You Planned at Wordplay

I've been attending a digital writers' conference, and it's been a lesson in patience. A chatroom just doesn't have the dynamic of a live conference. Admittedly, I've only gone to Costuming and to Science Fiction / Fantasy conventions. Lively folk go there, not shy writers.

Has anyone had any experience with writers' chatrooms? What do you think?

  1. I would love to go to a live conference but I am chicken. I think I'm going to be eaten alive by nice people. LOL. I have to work on that.

  2. LOL! The conventions I've gone to were wonderful! It *is* more fun to go with a friend, but that may not work for a writer's convention. Have a look at coyotecon.com - you just sign up, sign on and lurk. You can use a pen name, and no one will know you are there. ;-)

    Coyote Con is only on the weekends, so you'll need to check out the schedule, and you can do that without signing up. Have fun!
