I was on a panel at Killercon last year, and I came out with an unpopular opinion concerning writer’s groups. Don’t always check your ego at the door, I said. Sometimes it isn’t worth it. You can see the expressions that R.J. Cavender, Sam W. Anderson, and Brad C. Hodson are wearing. (Actually, I’m just lucky that [...]
