		<description><![CDATA[The World Fantasy Convention (WFC) is the annual gathering for professionals in the field of writing and publishing fantasy fiction.  It has the highest percentage of editors, authors and other pro&#8217;s of any con I know (although Readercon, in Burlington, MA,  comes close).  This con doesn&#8217;t have pointy ears (either elf or Spock), although it does have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I travelled to fantasy realms, got to be a teenager again, saw a magic show, and saw footage of hauntings&#8211;oh, and talked about books.  All without leaving the comfort of the hotel.  You certainly can&#8217;t fault the program on variety!
I started my day with a small but avid group in Karen Young&#8217;s talk about [...]]]></description>

One of our experts, Dr. D. P. Lyle was unable to attend at the last moment, so novelist and former trauma nurse Eileen Dreyer stepped up to present his power point&#8211;with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine wrote his Phd thesis examining metaphors in the Bible &#38; other places, considering the differences between metaphors we used then, and metaphors we use now.  It&#8217;s interesting stuff, considering how often we use them, many times without even thinking about it.  Much of our metaphorical language comes from occupations or situations that we [...]]]></description>

The travel was more or less effortless and aside of two hotel fire alarms and locking myself out of my room once, it was a fabulous trip. I enjoyed the energy of being amid that many writers, editors and readers. Everywhere I went, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gee, Karen&#8217;s post about packing got me thinking about travel.
It&#8217;s a complete illusion, but I always feel like summer and autumn are conference season.  Maybe it&#8217;s because my local science fiction convention is always in August.  So is Worldcon, the World Science Fiction Convention.  RWA National is in July (this year will be my first [...]]]></description>
