A few Wolfe panels\nare every bit as useful as (or more than) a semester long Creative\nWriting course. Wolfe's advice about being a *productive* writer are\nalways more practical and objective based than those of any other\nwriter I've heard. Perhaps it is because creative writers do not tend\nto be analytical. Every other successful writer seems to only vaguely\nunderstand exactly how he got there (at least anything beyond \"Go to\nlots of cons and share your writings!\"). Wolfe knows exactly\nstep-by-step how he got to where he is and can describe and discuss\neach leg of the trip.\n\nIf you know someone who would like to write fiction and get paid for\nit, you should encourage them to go to invest in the price of a con\nwhere Wolfe is attending.\n\nJ" }, { "kind": "quote", "depth": 1, "text": "On Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 12:19 PM, Matthew Knight wrote:\nPlease, please...I too would love to hear what Gene Wolfe has to say about\nall of these, particularly the religion-related panels.\\\n\nMatt\n\nOn Tue, Feb 9, 2010 at 9:29 AM, Nigel Price \nwrote:" }, { "kind": "quote", "depth": 2, "text": "Is anyone on the list going to Capricon later this week?\n\nI've just looked at all the panels and events in which Gene Wolfe is due\nto\ntake part.
