Summary
ConFusion Detroit 2024 Conference Recap
Friday, January 19th at 7 PM

Arrived late, missed it.
They held the opening ceremonies in Ballroom D.
Saturday, January 20th at 10 AM
Panel on How to Write a Good Conspiracy Novel with Kelley Skovron, Marie Vibbert, Catherine Stein, and Ken Schraeder:
Marie Vibbert suggested that it is important to let the reader in on the conspiracy and not make it a mystery to the reader. She further commented on saying that it takes a delicate balance to know as a writer when to give up the information and when to not.
Kalley Skovron added that as a writer it is important to reverse engineer the conspiracy so that the writer can set up misdirection.
Ken Schraeder stressed that every character needs a motive to make a well-rounded novel.
They held the panel in the Marquette room with 15 attendees.
Saturday, January 20th at 12 PM
Panel on Wish I Knew When I Started with Catherine Stein, Jim C. Hines, Jean Davis, and Ness Ricci-Thode:
Jean Davis thinks that getting into a writing group helps the beginning author.
Catherine Stein cautions that there are many little steps that need to be taken to get published.
Jim Hines says beware since old advice doesn’t work now. The hardest part is to learn to say no.
Catherine Stein notes that your writing process is unique to you. You can’t practice someone else’s process and be successful for you.
They held the panel in Ballroom B with 20 attendees.
Saturday, January 20th at 1 PM
Reading with Author John Scalzi:
He read three short pieces and then took Q and A questions. He did not read from his new novel coming out in February 2025.
#1 Grizzly Bear Conflict Manager written on the Jo Jo Cruise. He mentioned that he had read this story before, and I remember him reading it. It was very good.
#2 Will Wheaton Croc Hunter also written on the cruise. John Scalzi wrote it about Will Wheaton’s lime green crocs he wore on the cruise. Very funny.
#3 So you want to kill baby Hitler which he wrote that morning. It’s a time travel story trying to explain the issues with time travel.
In the Q and A, he talked about a potential movie or TV show on the novel Old Man’s War. He also talked about the church he bought and converted into an office for him.
John Scalzi readings are always my highlight of the con and this year was no exception.
They held the reading in the Keweenow room with 40 attendees.
Saturday, January 20th at 5 PM
Movie: Labyrinth (1986)
We watched the movie on a TV in the Boardroom. The theme of the con this year was Labyrinth of Confusion. I had never seen the movie before, so I thought this was a great time to watch it. The movie was directed by Jim Henson and featured puppets from his workshop. The star of the movie was David Bowie as the Golbin King and featured Jennifer Connally. I enjoyed it,
I’m glad I watched it.
They showed the movie in the Boardroom film room with 10 attendees.
Saturday, January 20th at 8 PM
Panel on Has the Hype Over Artificial Intelligence (AI) Art and Writing Programs Peaked? With John Scalzi, Lynne Sergent, A. L. Deleon, and Jason Sanford:
Lynne Sergent said that it good that people are more aware of the problem now.
A.L. Deleon is worried about when a helpful tool becomes a predatory one.
John Scalzi notes that it really isn’t A.I., it’s an algorithm that uses published material with no learning involved.
Jason Sanford worries that tech jobs and legal jobs are at risk due to A.I. advances.
They held the panel at Ballroom B with 45 attendees.
Recommendation – Conclusion
I felt the con went well and enjoyed my attendance. My star of the con was author John Scalzi. He read three short stories on his author reading and gave insightful comments on the AI panel. I’m looking forward to attending again in 2025.

In January 2023, I attended the SF conference ConFusion in Detroit, Michigan. I still want to write a post about that.
I attended the SF conference ConFusion in Detroit, Michigan from January 21 to 23, 2022. The theme was Rising ConFusion. My stars of the con were Guest of Honor author Jim C. Hines and Science Guest of Honor Dr. Jordan Steckloff.
I attended the SF conference ConFusion in Detroit, Michigan from January 16 to 19, 2020. I attended four panels, two readings, and one interview. The theme of the con was How to Train Your ConFusion, based on the movie, How to Train Your Dragon. My star of the con was John Scalzi. He gave an excellent reading of Chapter Two of his upcoming book named The Last Emperox. My other highlights were Kameron Hurley’s interview and the lecture on Edible Insects and Human Evolution. I’ll be back next year.
I attended the SF conference ConFusion in Detroit, Michigan from January 18 to 20, 2019. The theme of the con was Storming the ConFusion, so they designated the areas with names related to the movie The Princess Bride. I had a great drive to Detroit just before the snowstorm came. My star of the con was John Scalzi. He gave an excellent reading and was engaging in the panel I attended. My other highlights were Ada Palmer’s interview and watching The Princess Bride at the con. I’ll be back next year.
I was going through some old papers and found this gem from around 1983. I’m guessing that because Dee Snider is on the list. These are my lists but written with my high school girlfriend’s writing. (She wrote much more legibly than I ever did.)

New Spring by Robert Jordan is a prequel to the Wheel of Time series.
Introduction
New Spring by Robert Jordan is the prequel to The Wheel of Time series. The novel shows the prophecy of the birth of the Dragon Reborn which drove Moiraine to seek the Dragon Reborn. It also shows how Moraine and Lan meet and join forces. And it sets up the events before the first book of the series, The Eye of the World. Will Moiraine find the Dragon Reborn before the Minions of the Dark One find him and will she save him to defeat the Dark One in the Final Battle?
Summary
Moiraine and Siuan witness the Aes Sedai Keeper foretell that the Dragon has been Reborn. Moiraine and Siuan are friends and young Aes Sedai Accepted. The Amyrlin Seat of that time sends them on a mission to find the Dragon Reborn. When Moiraine becomes a full Aes Sedai, she continues her search.
At the end of the Aiel War, Lan and his crew learn that some people want to restore the destroyed kingdom of Malkier. Lan would have been the last king of Malkier, but doesn’t want to follow that path. They head toward a city close to where Malkier was located.
Moiraine and Lan meet on the road, but are suspicious of each others motivations. They continue to the city together.
At the city Moiraine searches for a potential Dragon Reborn while Lan tries to defuse the attempt to make him the King of Malkier. Their goals intersect in complicated ways and they help each other out. The novel concludes with them coming to a new understanding.
Recommendation
New Spring by Robert Jordan started as a 140-page novella (short novel) in the anthology named Legends, edited by Robert Silverberg. The novel expands on the story, but I feel that the ending was still rushed. The best thing about the novel is getting viewpoints from Moiraine and especially Lan. The novella did not have chapters while the novel had 26 chapters and an epilogue. I thought that was an improvement. My highlights of the novel are the foretelling of the Dragon Reborn, the first meeting of Moiraine and Lan, and when Morraine bonds Lan as her Warder. It was worth learning more about the events leading to the first novel of the Wheel of Time series.
