In my case, I apparently have two of them…writing and
conventions.
The Writing is going well.
I have 4 short stories published (the most recent coming out at the end
of May!), the first chapter of the first draft of my novel being copy-edited,
several more short story ideas are in draft form and an entire new series is
being plotted. So I feel like I’m making
progress in that passion.
And then there are cons… After I had the Geeklet, I decided
to get out of running conventions. But
it’s been 5 years and I miss it like an addict misses cigarettes or
coffee.
So when a small group of us started talking about running a
convention…I was onboard. Particularly
if I got to do programming again!
Programming is my true love of conventions. I love figuring out what topics to discuss,
how to draw in the fans…and ConGregate is giving me that opportunity. Plus we’re really focused on organizing a convention
that fans want to attend. So when it
comes to topics and programming ideas, I want to hear from the fans as well as
the guests. We’re even going to put up a
link for people to email me their ideas and if I can make it work, it’ll
happen.
Congregate is a group of experienced conrunners from all
over the South…we have staff from across NC, SC and VA helping out. We have some of the best talent you can name
from RavenCon, Trinoc-coN, MACE, StellarCon, ConCarolinas, Mysticon, and
DragonCon. It’s an amazing staff already and I can’t wait to see what we can
do.
I hope you check us out, and share your thoughts and
passions with us. The tagline for
ConGregate is “Where strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet.” We really hope that by the end of our first
con, we’ll have made a lot of new friends!
