Nebula Conference

[gwynnega]

I'll be attending my first in-person Nebula Conference later this week. It's in Pasadena, and I'd planned to drive, but it looks like taking Lyft will be cheaper than parking my car at the hotel. (There's a fair bit of stuff that's walking distance from the hotel.) I'll be on two panels, both of them in the mask-required room.

Thursday 4:30-5:30pm
Cody Sisco, Rebecca Hardy (moderator), Gwynne Garfinkle and James Sturz
Celebrating and discussing how to write stories that focus on friends, siblings, families, found families, communities, and other relationships that also deserve a happily every after!

Friday 4:30-5:30pm
Gwynne Garfinkle, David D. Levine, Dean Wells, Amber Morrell, Naomi Kritzer
Endings leave the reader with something — a feeling, a question, or an idea. How do you close your story so that you leave the lasting impact of your words on the reader? How much resolution is necessary? How much space past the climax is a good barometer for a proper cool-down?

Thanks, Lori!

Have a wonderful time: I’m glad it has the protections in place that make it possible for you to attend!

[gwynnega]

Thanks! There aren't as many protections as at Readercon, but hopefully I'll be able to spend a fair bit of time outdoors at the hotel.

That part is incredibly stupid, but I hope you have a wonderful time at the con!

[gwynnega]

Thank you! (I really wasn't expecting the hotel to charge guests a daily rate for parking, but I almost never have a car with me when I stay at hotels, so maybe it's not unusual?)

It's pretty common these days--gouge wherever possible.

In spite of that, I hope you have a great time!

[gwynnega]

Thank you!

I guess the gouging shouldn't surprise me. But at least there are plenty of places I can get to on foot near the hotel.
