THANK YOU to our incredible conference team, who have been working for months to turn this from an in-person writing conference to a virtual conference.
YOU ARE AMAZING!
WE LOVE YOU!
Yesterday was the pre-conference workshop and opening session, and there were technical difficulties far beyond the control of our moderators and organizers and tech wizards, and they were incredible, working tirelessly to come up with solutions and keep things running smoothly.
I wish it was safe to find all of them and hug them -- and send them to a spa to get pampered for a week.
We had incredible proof what an amazing tribe of fantasy and science fiction writers we have, when we were waiting more than an hour for our keynote address to start, and the technology simply refused to cooperate. No, it was more like the technology was hiding under the bed, kicking its heels and shrieking, "Nuh uh! Not gonna come out and play!"
We had the BEST fun, 300-plus writers of weirdness, getting silly, chatting in the comments column, talking so fast that it was sometimes hard to read, with the comments scrolling upward at near-light speed. Someone should have tried to record it. I bet there are some good story ideas in there. (A lot of discussions about donuts ....)
This edition of THE ADVENTURE is a salute to the incredible team who gives us the REALM MAKERS CONFERENCE every year for the last eight years. You are my heroes!!!!!
