Clarion 2007 was an amazing experience: Six weeks of writing and critiquing in the company of 18 other writers who redefined "excellent writing" for me. My ex-Clarion (and Clarion West) writing buddies told me I was in for a terrific time. That turned out to be an understatement.
All the writers had unique voices, and every story was exciting to read.
The critiques were cogent, intelligent and helpful.
The group spirit (not the alcoholic kind) was warm and wonderful. I'm still missing them all a year later.
Clarion users are at risk for post Clarion triste.
For those who are interested, I've blogged my notes from Clarion on my LiveJournal, posted at random intervals between Dec 2007 and March 2008.
