Look! Look! It's me as Katniss Everdeen. Down with the Capitol! It was so much fun being Katniss at Dragon*Con for a few days. Some people did not know who I was, but those who did were extremely excited. I've never had my picture taken that many times at Dragon*Con before. And I have to admit, it was very satisfying to be called Katniss.
But I didn't go to Dragon*Con just for the extra attention. I spent most of my time between the Writer's Track and the YA Lit track. Both had fantastic panels full of valuable writing tips and advice. The most common pieces of advice being write and keep writing, and the importance of establishing my own marketing platform. Wait, what? Marketing platform, you ask? Yeah, that's what I said. I need followers, I need to network, I need to tweet and tumble and blog and. . . whew, I have a ton of work ahead of me. That being said, this blog is going to undergo some changes and experiments as I try to bring out more of my personality onto these pages. I might even vlog! Maybe.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with The Raven and the Hawk yet. Most of the panelists advised against publishing unedited work because it could work against me.
Oh, yeah, I also met Tom Felton. You guys, I shook hands with Draco Malfoy. TWICE. Seriously.
*sigh*
I miss Dragon*Con already. I wonder if I can preregister for next year, yet?
