Some of the topics that will be raised include: early inspiration, the role of research in shaping a story, the writer's preoccupations and how they lead us down literary paths we never imagined traveling, the dedication and discipline of wrestling the beast into a work of beauty, things we learn about ourselves along the way, what we see in the work once it's complete, and surviving the industry.
