I didn't have a lot of interaction with Jay because I'm shy, but he seemed like an awesome person and his talk was exceptional. I learned a lot and felt validated in some of my writing "procedures" at the same time.
Oh, hey, that's cool! Lately, I can't say that there's a lot of actual writing discussion. It's mostly "woo-hoo" posts when someone sells or has something happen in their writing lives. On the separate list I belong to for VPXV, which I attended, sometimes folks ask for beta reads, too. Our class used to have a place we posted work for critique and such, but that kinda went by the wayside.
I'm looking for some new places that discuss actual writing and queries and such. (I belong to a couple that have requirements like being traditionally published or attending events like VP, but I don't always feel comfortable posting in those.) If I find a good group/mailing list/etc., I'll let you know.
