Wiscon on the Horizon

Alyssa Eisner Henkin of Trident rejects.

FINISHED with the comparative English paper. What’s next for writing? Wiscon materials. I have some packing to do for my business trip and another costuming event, and then I’m all about Wiscon.

So, here’s information about the reading members of the old writing group will be doing, where and when. I’ll be reading an excerpt from a series called Gossamer and Viridian, which I’m not as hot to write as I was, because everyone and your aunt Hattie are writing and publishing fae books, and I need a spin.

Still, it’s a nice scene, so I think you’ll enjoy it. As soon as I fix it up, I’ll post it here for your reading pleasure, a virtual read, if you like.

Also, I’ll be on a few panels at the convention, depending on what the con accepts me for, AND I’ll be writing a literary paper on Feminism in Master and Margarita.

Ditched Ahab’s Wife. I wanted to like it, but when she decides to dress as a boy and go to see, I drowned in yet another cliche. I have a fantasy about historical fiction that follows, I don’t know, history. I have another fantasy that if you write fantasy, maybe you should call it fantasy.

You might like the book. Lots of people did. It sold a lot of copies. I’m just persnickety and left-sided.

Oh! teaching in 20!

Why am I reminded of the Captain's first mate, Mr. Prostitute, from the movie Yellowbeard?
