Norwescon was a mixed bag, but then life is really. So a quick post for the good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good: so many interesting topics I struggle to pick which panel or event to go to in a given hour, which in some ways was also the bad. There were numerous hours where I wanted four panels. Yes, some of that was due to my having a varied interest but some of the seemed like awkward scheduling. Take Friday at 11: So You’ve Finished a First Draft (how to edit), Catching Reader Hook, Line, and Sinker (how to write a great first page), Beta Better (how to give good beta), The Reader & Writer Pact (writing for your readers), and Single Combat for Writers: Creating Believable Violence. That’s five classes for writers all in the same hour.
The bad: stayed 
in the hotel. Oh dear god was it loud, ALL night long. I will stay elsewhere within walking distance next time.
The ugly: It’s never a pretty thing when a panelist introduces themselves and then immediately says I don’t know why I am on this panel.
Moving on…..
I loved meeting different authors, interacting with them, getting unique points of view. Heck, having a few things driven into my head with repetition. I found time to go to a few readings this year which enabled me to find new amazing authors to read, so woot for that. I hesitate to say I made new friends but I definitely made possibilities for new friendships. And that is what it is all about for me, the endless possibilities

Looking out to sea at Lyme Regis, Dorset,UK just read your post, I really like this, a bit like aspects of the London Book Fair I recently attended, sometimes talking so much more than reading.

I was very glad to meet you! And yeah, kinda agree with you on the scheduling. It’s frustrating, but the flipside is it’s a task I wouldn’t want to take on myself, either. The juggling involved must lead to a couple weeks of headaches. 🙂

LOL. I did just go through something similar earlier this year, so I get that it’s painful to work out…but I still demand perfection. LOL It was awesome to meet you. I am thoroughly enjoying your book, look for more on that from me soon.
