What happens when a classical violinist is interrupted by a ringtone?
Inspiration. If you’re lucky.

I found myself in a strange relationship with this movie. It’s a Korean film based on the classic Chinese historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, and though I haven’t read the book, I’ve played the video game. Koei’s classic MS-DOS-based game was one of my favorites from the 1980s, and not only have I played it multiple times, I’ve played all the characters in this movie. Sometimes I got the feeling that Andy Lau was playing me.{ 0 comments }

One of these is Taos Toolbox, a workshop that I created. This year I’ll be teaching with Nancy Kress (who is sublime) and special lecturer Daniel Abraham (whose sublimity may be open to question, but who is really, really smart). The workshop will run for two weeks, June 10-23. Short stories are welcome, but we also deal with novels. We teach pacing and plotting, which most workshops won’t teach you (because they’re very hard to teach).
Clarion is a short story workshop, and it has an extremely good track record for turning out professional SF and fantasy writers.{ 4 comments }
