One particularly memorable conversation was with a woman who mentioned that her website content and blogs often fall short when it comes to simple proofreading.

Maud Newton, who I know originally from my work with Narrative Magazine, talks about Wreckage of Reason II in her last New York Times Magazine mini-column this weekend, out online today and in the print magazine this Sunday.

After spending the weekend with a wide representation of the writing and publishing community, I am more excited than ever to be a part of it.  The SFWC has changed form even in the short time that I’ve been involved with it.

This has been a wonderfully busy first quarter, with a cornucopia of activities to keep me sharp. The Nor Cal EFA hosted speaker Judith Horstman in January, and she provided the participants with insider information about writing for magazines and talked a bit about her new book.

I have been thoroughly enjoying receiving the RSS feeds of several blogs lately, and I’d like to share a few of these with you. Though it is true that a blog is just that, a blog, and shouldn’t ever be taken as the gospel truth.
