URSULA LEGUIN SPEAKS TO FANS IN SECOND LIFE: I was virtually face-to-face with author Ursula K. LeGuin when she spoke on Feb. 28 with an audience — some at the Potlatch 18 program in San Francisco, and others of us attending at the Alliance Virtual Library in Second Life. During the Q&A session, she alternated between questions from her “real life” audience and her SL audience. Another one of those “impossible in real life” events!
Snap Shots is a tool that enhances links with visual previews of the destination site. Sometimes the visual preview provides the information you need without having to leave this site. Other times it lets you "look ahead," before deciding if you want to follow a link or not. If you'd prefer not to see the preview, just click the Options icon in the upper right corner of the Snap Shot and opt-out.
Joan Kremer is a professional business/ nonfiction writer, novelist, short story writer, editor of an online literary journal, and most recently co-owner of the Story Mountain Center for Writers in Second Life® (where I go by the avatar name Alas Zerbino, whose picture appears above).
For even more about me, check out the About Me page of this blog, and/or read this interview by Debbie Ridpath Ohi about my experiences as a writer in SL at her great blog, Inkygirl's Daily Diversions for Writers.
A little background on my SL writers' center is in this episode of the Second Life Cable Network TV show Real Biz in SL, which talks about Story Mountain Center for Writers and the other women-owned organizations that share Athena Isle.
