I had a great time at LTUE (Life, The Universe, and Everything) – the BYU SciFi and Fantasy writing conference – this past weekend. I had been debating on whether to go, but finally decided to at kind of the last minute.

I was able to get some great brainstorming in during some of the more, shall we say, content-light presentations of the conference.
