HEY ASSHOLES, IT’S ME.
What a busy month this is. First San Diego Comicon (and thanks so much, those of you who came to see me) and now GenCon 2015! The biggest gaming convention in the United States will be hosting me as a guest at the Writer’s Symposium this year!
So, if you’re going to be there, from July 30th to August 2nd, you should come check me out at one of the amazing events below!
THURSDAY
9 AM. Room 245: Writer’s Craft 101.
Come listen to all of us talk about the basics of writing!
1 PM. Room 243: Characters: Common People in Epic Conflicts
These are always my favorite panels. Come listen to me and a number of other panelists discuss how to craft and establish epic conflicts with a bunch of assholes. You know I write those!
2 PM. Room 245: Craft: When to Show, When to Tell
Descriptions! The techniques used to absorb your audience and what to tell them.
6 PM. Room 245: Storium Live Fundraiser!
Me, Chuck Wendig, Delilah Dawson and Stephen Blackmoore will be playing with the good folks of Storium to raise money for charity! At least, I think it’s charity. It’s definitely something you should give money to, at any rate!
7-9 PM. Crowne Plaza Hotel: Who The %#@$ Is My D&D Character?
Will Hindmarch, Jim Zub, myself and many others will be doing a comedy-style improv of a D&D game. Majestic business is sure to ensue! Please come by!
FRIDAY
12 PM. Exhibit Hall: Signing
Come on by the bookseller’s booth and get a copy of your book signed! I will sign the FUCK out of that book!
7 PM. Room 245: Business: Growing Your Own Brand
I’m actually really interested in this panel. Becoming a business is one of the most important and least covered parts of being an author. Come listen to us gab about this!
SATURDAY
11 AM. Room 245: What Makes a Character a Hero?
Join a frank discussion about what separates a hero from your average asshole with a sword. Protip: the hero has never been convicted of running naked around downtown Indianapolis with a sword while screaming about being the ghost of Nixon, as I am required by law to mention every time I come to this convention since last year.
And there you have it!
If you should happen to miss me at my panels and see me elsewhere at the con, please feel free to stop by and say hello! I’ll sign basically anything you want, so long as it doesn’t bite, burn or sting!
Hope to see you all there!
Love,
Sam
