Clarion Application Time!
If you write fantasy and science fiction, if you're considering going to Clarion at San Diego in 2009 - the application period is approaching. Clarion will accept apps from Jan 2 to March 1.
You'll need to submit two short stories, so start polishing them now.... Scholarships are available. Additional information can be found at http://clarion.ucsd.edu. It has a great instructor line-up for 2009: Holly Black, Larissa Lai, Robert Crais, Kim Stanley Robinson, Elizabeth Hand, and Paul Park.
Definitely consider Clarion. I'm biased, of course. I've been burbling about Clarion for a year and a half. But I found it a life-changing experience. If writing fantasy and/ or science fiction is something you're considering as a profession or even a serious hobby: Definitely think about Clarion.
In other news: My poem in the form of a pantoum, "Nightwatch: A Poem for Two Voices" is up at a webzine for kids, Spaceports and Spider Silk. (Isn't the title irresistible? Of the webzine, I mean, not the poem.)
