I know it's been roughly a week since Clarion started, but I feel like I've been here for a few months. Jim Kelly said that week 2 of Clarion is where we need to start pacing ourselves because we don't want to burn out during weeks 5 and 6. So I am trying to keep on top of everything, the critiquing, the writing, the socializing. As I hang out with my fellow Clarionites, I am inspired and amazed at the different facets they reveal of themselves not only in their stories but in their critiques and on a personal level.
Jim Kelly is soooooooooooo different from Kelly Link. While Kelly is calm, Jim exudes huge energy. While Kelly talks quietly and in a constrained manner, Jim himself will say that he can talk forever. Yet they both give awesome critiques.
Clarion Tip of the Day: Because our writing is our highest priority, Jim told us to skip at least one non-workshop event this week. Don't know what I'm skipping yet, and I don't want to!
