Clarion West is a unique experience. It helped me become a much stronger writer and editor, though I use those skills outside SFF. I want others to continue to have this opportunity to hone their skills and explore the possible paths together.
I don't have a lot of time right now, between work and summer chores, and actually enjoying the brief season between deep freezes and slush. So I'm going to set a goal of working on fiction writing 5/7 days for at least 20 minutes.
