The Clarion West Class of 1993

Clarion West posted this photo of Lucius & the 1993 Clarion class.

I think the 1993 class was quite the disappointment to the Clarion higher-ups: Louise is the only one of us who got famous, and she is only modestly famous.

I was there on a full scholarship that covered room & board as well as six weeks of workshops.

That’s Lucius smirking in the doorway & Ben lolling insolently at my feet. You can really see the changeling thing full bore in Ben’s face in this shot.

Clarion really taught me how to write, and for that, I will always be grateful. I mean, I definitely had an aptitude for words before I did Clarion, and often I was able to sling words together in an engaging manner, but that was hit-or-miss, I knew nothing of technique.

It was Clarion that taught me technique.

What's Louise's full name?

I love that photo of you--you look pretty changeling yourself!
