Here are the posts referencing Clarion from the blog of my chum — David Barr Kirtley.

http://www.davidbarrkirtley.com/blog/?s=clarion

These don’t mine the Clarion experience too deeply, but I think it gives a good sense of some success stories and the camaraderie students have once the workshop is over.

not sure what happened there? just send you a bunch of links.

Doh! I don’t know what happened either :-(

If you look at my first entry you’ll see other blogs from my year — Ling, Allan, Philip, Karina & Thomas’s.

There’s a list of 1985-2004 blogs, journals, and paleoblogs at http://www.sff.net/people/hmm/c-logs.html

2006 blogs are extensively cataloged at http://www.alexwilson.com/projects/journal/clarion_2006_of.php and http://www.alexwilson.com/projects/journal/clarion_west_journals.php

I’ll try it again and break it up into a couple of posts (it was quite long).

first up is a rundown of what the 2007 Clarion South Class got published:

and a bunch of entries on the Voyager blog re Clarion Souths, with several past and present students and tutors giving their words of wisdom:

and a whole bunch of others here (you may need to scroll down a little to get the individual links but I don’t want to break your blog again!)

hope this helps!

Jason.

Thanks so much guys.
I knew there had to be other folks who had collected posts, but hadn’t found them.
Full of awesome.

I should add I’m focusing on direct links to posts about Clarion rather than general blog links to folks who have been to Clarion.

hmmm, I just realised it could be the spam filter that killed your previous posts, can’t believe I didn’t think of it earlier. I shall investigate.

Thanks, Liz. It was kind of you to put this list together for us.

Yes, thanks — and also for those other story links. Appreciated!

My absolute pleasure :-)

Hi Liz,

Here are my blogs about Clarion 2007 at San Diego. We were discouraged from blogging while there, but these entries were written soon afterward.

The final entry is a list (not complete now, but current at the time) of Clarion entry stories, or stories written at Clarion, that had already made it into print or pixel.

Liz, I just sent you links to five LJ entries, summarizing my Clarion 2007 experience – but they seem to have vanished. Not sure what happened.

Thanks for letting me know Keyan. Because of the high number of links in you message my spam detector shuffled it away, but I have been able to retrieve it.

I’ve just started to read your blog posts, they are great. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I don’t know how this is going to look. Here’s the first try.

Excellent links.

And thanks for adding me.

I see my comment did eventually go through and looks completely ugly. As I recall, when I left it, I got an error message and I bookmarked to return and try to fix later. And then later never came.

Here’s a link to class of CW 08:

Hope to see you soon.

My pleasure Pamela. http://pamrentz.com/cw/cw08.html is currently linked to as Overview to start it off. Though if you prefer I can put it in “Clarion related and more alumni”.

The filing system is a little bit squishy, I’m finding it tricky to decide on what sorting system to use – if I should use a different sorting system. I kind of like all the Clarions smooshed together, though I could sort it as Clarion, Clarion South and Clarion West. Or alphabetically, or…

Liz, when you have a moment add John Schoffstall’s fascinating blog from Clarion West 2004 that you stumbled across while looking for info on what Jeffrey Ford is like as a workshop instructor http://st-at-clarion.livejournal.com/

Liz, and remember to add that great series by Philip Brewer on how to be your own writer’s workshop if you can’t go to Clarion http://www.philipbrewer.net/2011/03/20/what-if-you-cant-go-to-clarion/

Love

Liz
