There were plenty of places you could go to learn how to write like a boy, and I visited most of them. I attended How-To-Write panels at cons. I joined a writer's group. I read advice books by SF writers, the SFWA Bulletin, and the reviews in Locus. I took to heart the advice I got in rejection letters from kindly editors. After winning the Writers of the Future contest, I attended a particularly egregious workshop team-taught by Orson Scott Card, Tim Powers, and Algis Budrys, where they indoctrinated us not only on how to write like boys, but like L. Ron Hubbard. Eeek. Afterwards we went to a star-studded reception at the top of the World Trade Center in New York, where I had the thrill of being condescended to by Robert Silverberg, just like James Tiptree.
