Conventions are a fantastic way to expand your writing community. This week host Nicole Rivera shares a mnemonic she developed to describe all of the power (and fun) she has found in conventions over the years: CLASS. CLASS stands for Connection, Learning, Admiration/Autographing, Self-Promotion, and SWAG! For each topic Nicole shares advice (and warnings!) about how to make the most of your convention experience from the planning stage all the way to what you bring home with you.

Special features of this episode: Background noises provided by Nicole’s five year old son who was home sick, but healthy enough to have some very active pretend play with his brand new Super Mario toys, and Nicole’s mother-in-law who was busy in the kitchen cooking dinner for the entire family (Nicole’s a lucky lady!).

• Don’t Keep Your Day Job https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dont-keep-your-day-job/id1191831035?mt=2

This week Stop Writing Alone host, Nicole Rivera, is challenging the community to a flash fiction writing celebration of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. Since Nicole has been all wrapped up in series’ conclusion this month, she decided to bring the obsession to the writing community in the form of a writing prompt and challenge. Your job is to write a flash fiction piece (less than 400 words), using the first paragraph of George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones as a model and prompt. Call in to the Stop Writing Alone Voice line at (646)907-9607 before May 13, 2019 to record your story and it will be shared on the May 16th episode of Stop Writing Alone! This technique of modeling prompt has been called Mimicking a Mentor, and is reminiscent of MadLibs except instead of picking new parts of speech without context, you do so with the intent of completing a short story. Listen to this week’s episode of Stop Writing Alone for a complete description of this technique of writing prompts

And our teacher…

• Don’t Keep Your Day Job https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dont-keep-your-day-job/id1191831035?mt=2

In this week’s episode of Stop Writing Alone host Nicole Rivera asks the question: Who do you tell about your writing? After discovering that she has difficulty sharing her own creative endeavors with certain people in her life Nicole became curious if she was alone in this omission of self. She shares stories from the Stop Writing Alone FB group and that of another artist who has also been doing some selective sharing of her gifts.
