The Snowflake Guy Is Coming!
No, I’m not talking about Santa, I’m talking about the originator of The Snowflake Method of novel design, Randy Ingermanson!
Randy is doing a workshop in Couer d’Alene this weekend. One of his other blog readers from my area contacted me, and now three of us will drive down this weekend to ’sit at the master’s feet’ as it were.
For a very modest fee Randy agreed to give a 5-page manuscript a 20-minute critique to all takers. This will be the first time my ‘real’ work has been professionally critiqued. I am shaking in my pretty boots! I know Randy well enough to know that he will be encouraging. I know myself well enough to know that I’m only 1 year into a four year learning process, and it’s okay that I don’t know, or even apply all the things I do know, all the time to my work. But I want to be told I am brilliant, dammit! (Was that my outside voice?)
Mature me can handle whatever comes, and immature me will just have to deal. Hopefully this will be a springboard for faster improvement, so that one day I will be described as brilliant!
Oh! I am a little (just a little) jealous! Have so much fun — and learn much.
