Tweet I just spent a huge amount of time, stress, and money attending a spec. fic. writing convention, Conflux 9. It was a bugger to get to (ten hours travelling each way), hugely expensive (about $2,000 all found) and most of the panels I attended were either boring or frustrating (I need a placard that [...] Tweet Someone tweeted that old chestnut by Richard Bach today, “A professional writer is an amateur who didn’t quit.” It’s an irritating quotation, like so many, because, while it sounds like a tautology, it is only half true (or some much smaller fraction, in fact).
