Wiscon schedule
I am so looking forward to Wiscon, especially in the melancholy of the past few days since Oddcon. My 6 year old, goddess bless her, thought it’d be fun to dump out all the capsules from her brother’s ADhD meds down the back stairs, a mistake that just cost us $200 we couldn’t afford. Fortunately we still have time to rearrange the cash to afford the Wiscon hotel still, and hopefully to pay the photo shoot I had scheduled while there. Looks like the book buying budget will be less this year.
On the bright side, here’s the most recent version of my Wiscon schedule. As you can tell I have Saturday and Sunday free (I’d rather be on panels, but what can ya do) . I still have a couple panels, a reading, and the Sign Out. Not sure what the anonymous deal in the first panel is though.
Fri 9:00 - 10:15PM Senate A
NOT ANOTHER F*CKING RACE PANEL
Moderator: Nora Jemisin, K. Tempest Bradford, Moondancer Drake, Nnedi Nkemdili Okorafor, ANONYMOUS
Writers of color working in F/SF face unique challenges, it's true. But, at the end of the day, being a 'person of color' is only one aspect of what makes up our identities as writers and, while it's very flattering to asked to be on panels, most of these panels never crack the ceiling of Race 101. With that in mind, wouldn't it be nice for multiple writers of color to sit on a panel that isn't about race at all? Here's our chance to do just that. So, what are we gonna talk about, instead? Practically anything! Presented in game show format, NOT ANOTHER F*CKING RACE PANEL brings together writers of color to get their geek on about any number of pop culture topics (perhaps chosen from a spinning wheel of fortune)—none of them race related.

There’s an antiquated idea among the age old writing tips that an author should only write what they know. Stepping outside what is familiar is not impossible, not if you really want to make a difference. In the world of spec fic, authors have the freedom to go beyond what they know to create endless possibilities within their fiction. The purpose of this discussion is to not only talk about the logistics of writing about folks unlike yourself, but to talk about how a writer handles the inevitable moment when what you’ve written offends someone. What to say and what not to say, and in the case where you stumble over your brain and get defensive, something we all are guilty of at one time or another, how to pull yourself back to recover with a sincere apology.
