WriterConUK
9 May 2011 23:17I have just signed my life away up for this year's ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
writerconuk event thing, which anyone who's around in the UK (or could be) for the 5th-7th August should most definitely come to also. You get to meet everyone, and sit around chatting with them, and drink the hotel's booze in its fancy chairs, and have rows about the most productive way to procrastinate through your writer's block, and build paper TARDISes. It's very entertaining, and newbies are always welcome (I know I certainly felt like an oldbie after only one weekend, and I think that's generally the case??).
One thing I have to say I was completely remiss about doing last year, and can't believe it's now got to May, is post my write-up of the event. There is an explanation for this! In 2009![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
peasant_ asked nay demanded detailed reports because she wasn't able to come. And so I wrote a detailed report! And got top marks for it! Unfortunately, I spend my life trying to outdo myself, which meant that I was working with an entirely new definition of 'detailed' for 2010 and realised I'd got to practically 2000 words of stuff before even the talks had started... And then I convinced myself even I didn't care that much, so I gave up. :/
But it is a surprisingly vivid account (at least for me!). So if you want to know what happened in a fateful Friday last August, read on (it ends on Saturday's breakfast):
( There is a serious meta point about halfway through this, if you can spot it. (Also people deciding something is a meta comment, but that's not it.) )
