This weekend I’ll be in Richmond, Virginia, for the RavenCon science fiction and fantasy convention. I’ve been to Raven a few times before, and it’s always been a good time.
My schedule for the weekend is pretty light:
- Friday, 04/08, 7 p.m. — Opening Ceremonies
- Friday, 04/08, 10 p.m. — I’ll help out with the Baen Traveling Road Show
- Saturday, 04/09, 8 p.m. — “A Workshop Was Held” — I’ll try to help folks recognize and correct passive writing
- Sunday, 04/10, 9 a.m. — “Praise and Prayer Service” — some singing, some Scripture, and a time of prayer and Christian fellowship
- Sunday, 04/10, 11 a.m. — “Why Can’t I Find What I Want?” — asking readers what they want but can’t find
While I’m there, I hope to get some work done on a short story. I’ll certainly have enough time for that … as long as I don’t go to too many of my friends’ panels!






I’m not sure what to do with that, Speaker …
I was looking forward to having attended that workshop. (grin)
-speaker to lab animals
(or should that be “I speak”?)
