Have you ever been to DragonCon? It's definitely more of a fan convention (rather than a writers convention).

Of course, from a panelists point of view, you know a panel is going well when you suddenly find yourself out of time and more than one person has been speaking the whole time ;) I'm sure we all could have gone on for at least another hour, if not more on the Career Building panel...<BR/><BR/>With the Mundane magic one it was a little more difficult as the topic didn't have much meat to it, but I think we did fairly well with only a little diverging from the official topic.<BR/><BR/>As for Xanth...I wouldn't be in fantasy and science fiction as firmly as I am without Piers Anthony and the Xanth "trilogy", so his examples tend to stay with me no matter how many thousands of books I've read since then.<BR/><BR/>:::sigh::: and now...off to work with me :(<BR/><BR/>D-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3181591361092613360.post-34600706066349855162008-10-21T13:32:00.000-04:002008-10-21T13:32:00.000-04:00Thank you so much, Danielle!

I enjoyed our conversations and I hope the information in the panels was helpful to you. You are already making strides in building that career goal. Most people never even get that far.
