Enjoy!

    Thank you for that! I wish we did conferences like that in the UK - they all seem a lot more formal and stiff over here. Anyway, lovely to hear your voice, with all of that enthusiasm, thanks again...

    You're very welcome! I've never been to a UK conference, so I can't really compare. RT was semi-formal with panels & pitches, but the atmosphere was pretty relaxed, which was really nice.

    Sounds like comicon for writers. I'm not sure it's for me though. Not only am I isolated by being in Japan but my writing is pretty unique so I don't relate to a lot of other people.

    I'd socialise more if I found someone who wrote stories like the stories I write.

    Comicon for writers! I like that. It was definitely kind of like that. As far as being isolated, I think if you put yourself out there, you'd probably find others who had a similar style or interest as you. Also, there'd be loads of writers who'd love a critique partner who lives in Japan, particularly writers trying to include Japanese themes or characters in their work. Just a thought. :)

    True. I come across the occasional story like that. I'll keep an eye out
