There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds

Friday Arrives Without a Suitcase

Here at ConClave. Made it in one piece. Welcomed by Jody Harrow, who is a nice guy. Had dinner with Mer, Julie, and Mary Lou at the Big Boy next door. Realized I forgot notes for 8pm panel Mythology and Fantasy (the one I'll need notes for). Cramming.

Need to remember all those authors who have written in other mythologies than the traditional English/Northern European as well as the Hero's Journey steps. Will make point about how mythology gives us structure and form, also informs us how to tell a story.

Now I need to find that Scientific American article on the power of story, and why it works. One of the things I forgot and didn't make a bookmark for (me, what can I do with myself).

Hope your day is going better.

Todd, thanks, except for being up until 4am, it went fabulously. Hopefully today I won't face plant in the carpet today. It's going to be a long one.
