There were many unexpected blessings at the writer’s conference last week. One such blessing was the privilege of attending fiction author Joyce Magnin‘s not-yet-published-fiction author’s clinic.

I hadn’t signed up for it, but when I met with Joyce on the first day of the conference and she read over my manuscript and synopsis, she gave me the opportunity to attend.

I had the chance to make some wonderful friends, and participate in discussion that was aimed directly at the kind of fiction I’m writing, so it made for a wonderful week.

And Joyce was such a pleasure to get to know. She calls herself the “queen of quirk” and her writing is something you really should check out for yourself. It’s available at Amazon or for Nook and Kindle.
