Tomorrow I leave for the Northeastern Writers Conference, affectionately known as Camp Necon. This will be my first one, and I’m really looking forward to the experience. It will be a chance to meet many of those fellow message board posters I chat with on Shocklines.com, as well as a lot of other writers, editors and artists who I admire–and catch up with old friends. From what I’ve heard, Necon is one of the most intimate of these writers’ conferences, and there’s a lot more time spent chatting with attendees, rather than sitting in on panels and movie screenings and readings. There are certainly plently of those too (and I do love a good panel)…but what’s better than getting the chance to talk with those authors you’ve read and admired for years?

What’s more, I’ll have an unexpected roommate. Space is so tight this year that the organizers are pairing up people who had reserved single rooms. I’m one of them. I’ll have to wait and see who my roommate might be.

Stay tuned.
