<h1 id="lecture-whats-next">Lecture — What’s next?</h1>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Places to go after RAWR to continue writing career, because there’s a lot</li>
|
|
<li>What worked/didn’t RAWR, so we can figure out what’s next</li>
|
|
<li>Staying in touch as a group after going through this together:<ul>
|
|
<li>helps to have this community of people who know about each other</li>
|
|
<li>We have familiarity with what we’re all trying to do (rather than starting fresh with a new critique group, where people may have suggestions for a story you’re not actually trying to write, e.g: literary snobs who might make you justify your genre)</li>
|
|
<li>cohort with similar starting point and familiarity with discourses within the genre, rather than trying to catch them up to the tropes</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Continuing to read:<ul>
|
|
<li>Provide recommendations to each other because now we have a good idea of what each other like</li>
|
|
<li>Also, good to get reading material by volunteering as a slush reader for awards/magazines (also good way to broaden horizons w/ stuff you might <em>not</em> read), read Year’s Best <GENRE>, etc. Pick up by osmosis</li>
|
|
<li>What would your <em>response</em> to those be?</li>
|
|
<li>Be a bone-stealer - steal a skeleton to enter into a story of your own (Disney, noir, fairy tales, etc)</li>
|
|
<li>Focus on metagenres, e.g: queer fiction</li>
|
|
<li>Email lists, e.g: book smugglers’ X Marks the Spot, Fireside, Fiyah</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Other workshops:<ul>
|
|
<li>apply multiple times, since you’ll probably be paired up with similar sensibilities</li>
|
|
<li>Mention that you know previous members (Kyell and Dayna)</li>
|
|
<li>List this workshop as a reference</li>
|
|
<li>Clarion:<ul>
|
|
<li>six weeks, RAWR kind of condensed version of first week + the rest</li>
|
|
<li>Genre focus (sff)</li>
|
|
<li>20 attendees</li>
|
|
<li>See which authors are going to teach:<ul>
|
|
<li>The Anchor Team (last two instructors)</li>
|
|
<li>a consideration, yes, but what you take away from it is your cohort</li>
|
|
<li>More just tells you what to apply with</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>probably rolling classes over another year</li>
|
|
<li>Clarion West in Seattle</li>
|
|
<li>Clarion in San Diego</li>
|
|
<li>Get access to archive of first drafts</li>
|
|
<li>“Fun Trauma”/”MFA in a Bottle”:<ul>
|
|
<li>shorthand for understanding that you’re serious, they approach you in a different frame of mind</li>
|
|
<li>some of the takeaways are the same, but Clarion can be less painful</li>
|
|
<li>The big takeaway is connections</li>
|
|
<li>Dayna prefers experience, right choice for some</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Still, not necessary</li>
|
|
</ul>
