jon_chaissonMany of the writers involved in the Writer's Workshops at this year's WorldCon are passing the word, and I may as well too, as it's not listed on the WorldCon site for some reason:
Lookee here at this post for more information about the workshops!
That said...I'm tempted to do it again this year. The last time I was involved, I'd handed in an earlier version of Love Like Blood and though it needed work, it went over well. At the moment![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dancinghorse has a hold of a few of the chapters for another once-over. I could be tempted to send it in again, but I'd like to try something else...
I'm thinking perhaps the first few chapters of A Division of Souls. My only worry about that is that I've had a few people suggest I do something else with the opening...they're not sure why Nehalé's scene is in there (for various reasons--why show him, when he doesn't pop up again for another few chapters? Don't you know editors HATE prologues? And my favorite: We already know he's behind this now...why do we even need to read the rest now?), but I have to answer back: as far as I can see, it kinda has to be there, or else the rest of the story doesn't really make sense. But I digress...
It's something to think about...I've got a few days before the deadline, so I'll think about it and see if I want to join in again.
