Hi Liz-
I hate to be a lurker, but I started reading your blog when they posted it on the Clarion website (One day, maybe I’ll be a future Clarion grad, too) and I wanted to thank you for pointing me towards Delany’s essay on Clarion. I went to the library and checked out About Writing and read that essay first, then the rest of them, then everything else until I was panting for more. I can almost feel the creative bits of my brain restructuring (which is of course coupled to the growing sense of inadequacy in the face of so much wisdom and the knowledge that there’s so much left for me to learn).

Thanks again and good luck with your writing – I’ll be lurking here in the background rooting for you :)

I know what you mean Shauna, I struggle sometimes to curb my enthusiasm and not sound like a glazed evangelist (all things in moderation).

And Ken, sure I’d want to do it again! and I would love to get married again, as long as I could get married to the same person. I think I have the experience now to make it extra awesome and not freak out as much.

Just call me a lazy adrenaline junky, how could going through that kind of pain again not be awesome? but you’re right it would lose its zing after a while, I’ll just have to find something bigger than Clarion to jump off…

Truly, would you want to do it all over again? It would be like getting married a second time, or having a second religious conversion experience, no?

Next year’s Clarion looks amazing! I need to do a blog post about this on my own blog. I’d love it if some of my friends got in.
