Wondering if I should do a rerun on my "Outlining Stories While ADHD" workshop I did for Worldcon. I added a lot of other writing while ADHD strategies, too, like this one slide...

A presentation slide with the text "Executive dysfunction hits! Oh no! What now?" with a melting smily emoji. Next to it is a picture of a person slumped over their bent knees, on a bed covered with papers and a book.

Straight up one of the things I value most is the genre community we've built up here in Scotland, so I really adored last year's inaugural Picton. So many people from all walks of the genre - creative, academic, commercial - all celebrating what we do in brilliantly laid-back company. Amazing vibe.
