Yes. We’re sure.
I am speaking on this topic at the Mad Anthony Conference this weekend and then speaking about it again at the Missouri Writer’s Guild Conference next weekend.
To get myself warmed up, I took a look back at some of my thoughts on the subject. And while I was at it, I got curious about what others had to say, so I did some searching and came up with a couple of neat posts.
What will I be saying at the two upcoming conferences?
I’m sorry. That information is top secret. You should really come if you want to find out. (See my appearances schedule for details.)
However these posts will give you a general idea of where I stand on the subject:
