StellarCon Sparks Something

After attending a small sci-fi and fantasy writing convention called StellarCon, I'm extra-excited about school ending soon, and hope to work on some of my short stories over the summer. I have a new short story planned, sci-fi, which is a bit unusual for me, but for the most part I hope to work on editing short stories that I have already written. Some only need minor editing, rather than conceptional and consistency changes, so I will probably be working on the stories that are closer to a final draft.

StellarCon was wonderful. Small conventions are great, but this is the first time that I've never been to a convention that had such a focus on writing. I actually attended a panel on world building that was hosted by four published authors, one of which wrote the Dresden Files which now I will have to add to my reading list.
