Realm Makers 2017 Recap

Tracey Dyck 54 Comments

Greetings, fellow adventurers! As you’ve probably realized by now, I have returned! And boy, do I have stories to share about Realm Makers. I’ll try not to make a novel out of this post, but no promises.

Day 1

My parents and I woke up at an unholy hour (3 am, to be precise) to get to the airport on time. I’ve never flown before, aside from a few times in tiny crop duster planes, so this was all new to me. Despite being a complete newbie, flying turned out to be pretty straightforward. Follow the signs, ask for directions if you need to, and be on time. Easy enough. And thanks to Gravol and air plugs (these little rubber ear plugs that help with the changing air pressure), I made it with zero nausea.
From home I flew to Vancouver; then to Santa Ana, California; and finally to Reno, Nevada. I had a window seat during two of those flights, so I got to watch the flat prairies turn into the Rockies, and the Rockies turn into the Sierra Nevada range. I’ve never seen brown mountains before! (And I can now write airport scenes more accurately, so yay for that!)
Riding the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, I overheard conversations behind me about vampires and fictional races and how to find critique groups, and I couldn’t help but grin. It was so unlike anything you’d hear on a regular bus, I just knew I was in the company of writers. I was finally at Realm Makers.
When I arrived at the hotel (which was huge and had a casino on the main floor–it reeked of cigarette smoke there), I met Lisa Canfield, long-time friend, blogger, and one of my roommates! We had supper with an assortment of Realmies, then retreated to our room for an early night.

Day 2

Me and Lisa nipped across the parking lot for breakfast first thing in the morning.
Pre-conference day! I met a bunch more people, including Victoria Grace Howell! It was so surreal to be meeting online friends and fellow bloggers, and glimpsing familiar authors in the crowd.
Me and Tori! Apologies for the fuzziness in the photos. Hotel lighting isn’t the greatest.
The first half of the day was David Farland’s pre-conference workshop on creating a winning writing career. I learned SO. MUCH. Midlist authors vs. super lead authors, pen names, global markets, being a fast and consistent writer, growing my skills in concept/plot/prose, the neurobiology of readers, reaching a vast audience, writing beats . . . I scribbled a dozen pages of notes on this class alone!

Sometime that afternoon, I met my friend Mary Horton, who’s just as sweet in person as she is online!
With Mary Horton
Later in the day, the conference officially began, kicking off with an agent and editor panel where they answered questions we wrote in. One thing I was reminded of is to write the story I am passionate about, rather than worrying about trends, and that’s what will set me apart.
Ted Dekker’s opening keynote was next. If you’ll remember, he’s one of my favorite authors, so I was massively excited to hear him in person! I found he was as dynamic and powerful in his speaking as he is in writing. He’s been on an incredible journey and come to learn so much about who God is, what it means to be one with Him because of Jesus, and the power of our own perception. Much of what he talked about was similar to things he teaches in The Creative Way writing course, but it stirred my hunger for knowing God, clarified my vision, and provided a breath of fresh air and peace.

After that, Carla Hoch held a fight workshop. It was super informative, because she was teaching real fighting skills in order to help us write better fight scenes. It was also super hilarious, especially since she was demonstrating everything on the emcee, Ben Wolf! Some of the practical things I took away were: everything is a weapon, the deadliest person is the most willing person, and the first thing you should try to do when approached by someone aggressive is RUN.
Carla teaching us how to break Ben’s wrist with nunchucks.

Day 3

I had a lovely breakfast in the lobby with Mary H. and her mom, and then hurried off to my first class of the day: Robert Liparulo’s continuing session called “Embrace the Strange.” Sadly, I missed about half of his teaching throughout the conference because, being a newbie, I scheduled all my appointments during class times. But what I did hear was so encouraging and inspiring. He talked about how to write strange stuff without chasing people away (hint: hide the weird among the ordinary, the familiar, and the universal, especially universal human emotion). But the biggest thing I took away from his classes was this: trust yourself as a writer. And don’t hold back those good ideas you’re saving for fear of emptying your bag of tricks. Write those twists, those amazing characters and plots and ideas, now. And trust God to give you more for the next novel.
In the middle of that first session, I slipped out for a mentor appointment with David Farland. I asked him for advice on getting from where I am now to where I’d like to be (writing as a career), and got some great tips for how to prepare myself and grow my skills.
My next class was one on networking by Mary Weber! I was expecting social media strategies and marketing platforms, but what she taught was so much better: publishing is relational. Networking is just making friends. Of course she went way more in depth than that, but it was a wonderful reminder and eye-opener.
At lunch, I sat with Mary, Jonathan Trout, and a whole group of teens, a few I know from Goodreads and whatnot. They’re such a fun group, and I ended up hanging out with them a lot more during the conference.
Right after that, I had a class on plotting a bestselling series by David Farland (apparently I signed up for a lot of his classes, LOL). I know I’ll definitely be referring to my notes whenever I get back to working on The Prophet’s Quest and its sequels!
Next I had another of Robert Liparulo’s sessions. I missed part of it again for my first ever appointment with an agent. I was a bit nervous, but no more than I’ve been for job interviews, and the pitch went decently well. I was told my writing was good, so that’s a plus!
That evening was the awards banquet, where almost everyone showed up in costume, and I dressed as Emma Swan from Once Upon a Time! Aaaaand here comes the onslaught of pictures.

With Hann R. (as herself)

I didn’t catch their names, but when I asked Flynn Rider and Rapunzel for a picture,
Flynn said, “As long as you get my nose right,” to which I replied, “As long
as you give me the smolder.” This is the result.
Snow White and the cutest dwarf I have ever seen!

Author Jill Williamson (as Gamora) and her husband (as Star Lord)
With Jill

I met so many others too–I just don’t have room for all the pictures! There were characters from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who, Disney, and more. I saw Dr. Strange and the Ancient One (actually Scott and Becky Minor, who run the conference!), Katniss Everdeen, Belle, Gandalf, Wolverine, people in steampunk costumes, and so many others I either recognized or had never seen in my life. I’ve never been a part of any cosplay event before, but it was really fun to strike up conversations with perfect strangers based solely on the fandoms they represented!

As the banquet wound down, I got a chance to meet and talk to author James L. Rubart. He’s a super nice guy. We had a great conversation and I walked away encouraged!

Day 4

First thing in the morning I had a half-hour session with editor/author Lindsay A. Franklin for my ten-page critique. It was amazing. She was so encouraging and supportive, offered awesome advice, and was just really fun to talk to! (And her first novel is coming out in 2018, you guys! Be on the lookout!) Based on her comments and ideas, I’ll be reworking at least part of The Brightest Thread. Improvement is an exciting thing!

Afterwards, I had another pitching appointment. This one went very differently than planned, because as it turned out, TBT isn’t the right fit for this agent. But we had a good discussion in which he asked questions to stir my creativity and help point me in the right direction, so it was still a helpful learning experience!

I then caught the tail end of Robert Liparulo’s final session. Following that was a class on character motivations by Lisa Mangum, which offered practical tips for defining characters’ values, goals, and ambitions, and thrusting them into conflict and growth.

That afternoon, I sat in on a panel about reaching readers. The advice was aimed more for already-published authors (always keep copies of your books in your trunk; never be without a Sharpie for signing them; etc.), but it was still informative.

My final class that day was another one by David Farland, this one about building a magic system! One of the best things I took away was the idea of using magic to explore morality–what is the right use of all that power?

Then we had some free time! I hung out with friends in the vendor hall/bookstore and agonized over which books to buy. With limited room in my suitcase, deciding was hard. And then for supper, my teen friends kidnapped me right out of the hotel for deep dish pizza and deep conversation to match. I had so much fun with them! (They were fascinated by my Canadian currency. ‘Twas hilarious.)

Then it was back to the hotel for Ted’s closing keynote and Q&A (so good!) . . . and then, the reason I had packed probably ten pounds of books along: the book signing!

I got Storm Siren signed by Mary Weber! She’s like the nicest human bean ever.
Ted Dekker! I got Mortals signed by him. (Most of the Dekker books in my
house belong to my dad. I actually own very few of them myself.)
I didn’t have any of Robert Liparulo’s books with me, nor did I have room in my luggage to buy one, so he signed my notebook for me. XD

I also got a couple of books signed by Jill Williamson (she’s so friendly) and Kyle Robert Schulz (fellow Silmarillion Awards host), though I didn’t get pictures.

And then, to close it all off: the NERF WAR. I didn’t stay for nearly all of it, because I had a ridiculously early flight the next morning, but I stuck around long enough to play several rounds of zombies vs. survivors. Despite being tired, it was hilariously fun! (Seriously, when do you get to see a whole roomful of mostly adults running around shooting foam darts at each other? And having serious strategy huddles before each round of the game?)

Liv and I, happy assassins

Day 5

I got four hours of sleep and woke up at 4 am to catch my flight to Salt Lake City. I was exhausted and threw up once, but my next two flights went smoothly. By suppertime I was home again.

* * *

And that was Realm Makers 2017! Sorry for the beastly length of this post. There was just so much I wanted to share with you. Realm Makers was encouraging, inspiring, jam-packed, worth the money, and so. much. fun. I learned a lot and met so many awesome people. When others ask me what the highlight of my trip was, I’ve been telling them it’s the people. It’s being around so many other writers. The energy of a huge room full of individuals who love story, speculative fiction, and Jesus. People who get me. People amongst whom small talk consists of more than just “Where are you from?” and “What do you do?” but “What do you write?” It was an amazing conference, and I hope I get to go again next year!

Sunshine Blogger Award

Tracey Dyck 31 Comments

Hello! I’m currently off in some secret location on a vacation with my family, so this is me speaking to you from the past. I needed a quick post to schedule for today, since I hate to leave this place lonesome and deserted, and a tag seemed like just the thing.

I’ve done the Sunshine Blogger Award before (a Q&A is about as easy as it gets, thank goodness). This one comes from the lovely lass who goes by the name Blue, over at To Be a Sennachie. Thanks, Blue!


1. How are you today?

As of the day I’m writing this, very well, thank you! My brain is racing a hundred different directions because I’m on the verge of flying away to Realm Makers. (But as of today, I’m probably sitting in the sunshine with a book in hand and feeling much more relaxed.)

2. What’s one thing you love about your job/school?

I enjoy the mindless organizational aspect of restocking the store (I work in clothing retail), but I love the endless stories of customer interactions more. Character fodder, you know! Takes all kinds to make the world go round, and I’ve seen some rather interesting kinds during my two years at this job.

3. Know any other languages?

Besides English . . . no. Does a handful of words I’ve made up for fantasy novels count?

4. What’s one thing you adore- but think you will be able to give up for the rest of your life?

Oi, this is a hard one! If I adore something, naturally I’ll want to keep it around for the rest of my life, or at least for a good long while! But . . . I suppose if forced, I could give up movies. Though I’d hate not getting the chance to see the rest of the Marvel movies. And the eventual new Narnia movie. And all the rewatches of LOTR and the Hobbit that I want to partake of. And every single Disney reboot they come up with. And all the funny, tragic, moving, suspenseful films I want to see. GAH, I CHANGE MY MIND. I couldn’t give up movies! How about chocolate? I’d miss it terribly, but I’d rather feed my mind and heart than my stomach.

5. What’s one thing you despise- but think you will be able to endure for the rest of your life?

Bureaucracy! Red tape! Political correctness! I hates, it precious! (I’m really a harsh little rebel somewhere deep inside, but I tend to keep that shady corner of myself hidden from the public eye.) But being as this is the world we live in, and this sort of nonsensical lack of common sense and justice is entrenched so deeply, I suppose I may have to endure my fair share of it. Though I would like to affect some changes during my lifetime. How, you ask? By burning it all down and starting a benevolent dictatorship on my own little island–ah, I kid. Mostly.

6. The doorbell rings. You answer it, and find the future you at the doorstep.  What do you do?

Invite her in for chai lattes and gingersnaps, knowing she simply can’t resist those, and ply her with questions. Most importantly, how did she get where she is today, is she happy there, and what’s one piece of advice she’d give her younger self (aka me).

7. Have you ever gotten lost, but enjoyed the experience?

I’ve probably gotten turned about in the woods someplace, but there’s always been trails around. Any other times I’ve gotten lost, it’s been driving around in the city, and I do not enjoy that.

8. Do you have any culinary quirks?

I am a messier baker than my mother. *wink* I can’t help but leave flour dust in my wake! And I don’t particularly enjoy handling raw meat, though I’ll do it.

9. Imagine that a theme song from a film or show played every time you entered a room. Which theme song would you want it to be?

Ohhhh, THIS is what you were referring to, Blue, when you mentioned this question was familiar! (On my brother’s blog, I believe?) Anyway, I’d probably pick something light and airy and vaguely epic, with Celtic undertones. Like THIS, perhaps? But if I’m being more accurate, it would probably be something quirky and strange, like Radagast’s theme music.

10. Where would you rather live? A houseboat, a mountain cabin, a farmhouse, or an apartment overlooking the whole city?

The mountain cabin, if you please! Although the farmhouse would be my second choice. I’m not fond enough of the rocking sensation of boats to live on one, and a city–though fun at times–makes my tree-loving soul feel cramped.

11. Where’s Waldo?

Good question. If you find him, you’ll make a killing, because I’m sure there are a good many people who are wondering the same thing.

***

Aaaand I would come up with a set of new questions and tag more people, but I’ve run out of time! Feel free to pick some of these questions to answer in the comments, though! I’ll see you in a short while, and I’ll probably come dump an overly long post full of Realm Makers stories. Until then, fare thee well!

I Graduated!

Tracey Dyck 30 Comments


“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back, everything is different?”

These wise words by C.S. Lewis have always struck a chord in me, but perhaps never as strongly as here at the end of college. Because looking back, it’s been one crazy amazing adventure from start to finish. But in the day to day, I experienced hard moments, challenges, frustrations–long days when it felt like no matter how much time or energy I poured into it, nothing was changing. Yet now that it’s over, I look back and I am astounded at the ways I and my classmates have transformed this year.

Of course, none of that would have been possible without some very key people!

My teachers. (I nicknamed them Bob and Larry for their opposite personalities.) Both are very wise, godly men who have become dear mentors to me. They taught me and my classmates, coached us, equipped us, and poured their hearts into us.

The ministry leads. They were all amazing, but this year I got the chance to work under the leadership of the fantastic people in the youth department and the creative department. In youth, my love for teens grew even deeper, and my courage strengthened as I took opportunities to form relationships with them, teach them, and serve them. In creative, I learned new skills with my hands, started thinking outside the box more and more, and realized how much work and forethought go into event planning.

My family and friends. Without a home base of people who loved me, understood my crazy schedule, and supplied me with food, hugs, and listening ears, this year would’ve been a lot harder! Their support, encouragement, and of course prayers made a big difference.

My classmates. They rocked! I learned something from each and every one of them, whether they were aware of it or not. The team we formed got some pretty darn remarkable things done during these past nine months of college, and some of the friendships I formed will last a long time.

I have learned so much at college. Leadership principles, people skills, communication and public speaking, how to serve wholeheartedly, relationship building, and the list goes on. I’ve learned more about God, His Word, and His real purpose for my life.

But it’s one thing to acquire more head knowledge–you can pick up a new book or take a class just about anywhere. It’s a whole other thing to actually apply what you’ve learned, and that was one of the best things about this program.

Through designing chapels for elementary and high school, doing group projects, ministry afternoons, and volunteering at youth, inner city, and big events, we got many chances to really live out exactly what we were being taught.

Perhaps the biggest example of this was the day camp we planned from the ground up. Working on that project, we actually had to lead both each other and the kids. We had to work with each other’s personalities. We saw each other’s strengths shine out, and we came face to face with each other’s flaws. Yet we still chose to build a team, a family.

As a recovering perfectionist, I learned to beat the shame storm. Excellence is just doing the best you can with what you have, and that is enough.

I grew in my public speaking. In September, presenting a speech brought on nervous butterflies and even dizziness. But just two days ago, I delivered a valedictorian speech at grad and–apart from shedding a few tears–felt pretty comfortable behind the mic. (This post, in fact, is a modified version of that grad speech.)

I stepped out of my comfort zone, especially in the area of leadership as I was put in charge of the aforementioned day camp.

Some of my D personality* classmates rubbed off on me, and I became more direct and honest with others, lessening my people pleasing side a bit.

*from the DISC system; D’s are the direct people who cut to the chase and get stuff done.


I learned better strategies for managing my time.

I learned that life is all about relationships, and that tasks are secondary (and really are meant to serve relationships in the first place).

I learned to ask why, to stay curious, and to apply new knowledge to my life at this very moment.

I learned in a greater way that we are all reflections of God’s nature, and so is everything that’s right and true in the world.

It’s been said, “In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.”

My classmates and I took many forward steps between September and now, and it would be easy to stop there, to think of this as the end. Truthfully, I’ve just begun this journey. Many new chapters lie ahead. But I’m well-armed with the tools God has helped me forge this year. I’m sad to see my year at college come to a close, because I’ve made so many good memories. But as my classmates and I move into new adventures, we’ll be cheering each other on.

And faith tells me that no matter what lies ahead, God is already there.

TAG #3 – The Sunshine Blogger Award

Tracey Dyck 29 Comments
[Apologies for the delay, folks! Saturday got away from me.]

The sun is out (today at least–I’ve no idea if it will be on the day this is posted), and I’m back to thank Belle Anne @ Worlds of Ink and Paper for the Sunshine Blogger Award! I have a sneaking suspicion I’ve done one of these before, or else I’ve just seen it circulating the blogosphere countless times. But that’s totally fine because it’s always different!

The rules are simple: answer 11 questions from your nominator, then tag 11 other bloggers, and ask them 11 new questions.

[Enjoy random pictures that have nothing to do with the post and everything to do with the fact I simply like them.]

[via Pinterest]

1. Who was your fictional childhood hero?

I went through a big mystery phase during my elementary school years. I started out admiring Jigsaw Jones for his money-making, mystery-solving prowess–to the point I begged my mom for a mystery to solve and wanted to be paid a dollar just like Jigsaw. Then my attention moved to the Mandy Shaw series, which I positively devoured, and after that to Nancy Drew. Somewhere midway through the Nancy Drew books, my interest petered out.

2. Who is your favorite band?

Gah, what a hard question! I love Owl City for his whimsy and gorgeous music (though he’s not really a band, just one person). But I also love For King and Country for their incredible voices and profound lyrics. And I’ve also been loving a number of worship songs by Young & Free, Hillsong United, and Bethel Music.
As you all know, I am a multiple choice kind of girl when it comes to these narrow “favorites” questions.
[via Pinterest]

3. What was the most deep book you’ve ever read?

Aside from the Bible, I’m assuming.
I’d have to say the entire Chronicles of Narnia, because I connected with them in a deep, powerful, simple way during my childhood. They encapsulate something precious about that time in my life, a piece of which I carry with me permanently. That’s not to say I haven’t read all kinds of wonderfully deep books since then–just that Narnia happens to have a depth of life history for me as well.

4. What was your least favorite book you’ve ever read? (and I mean if it’s your least favorite due to opinion, and not morality of material)

Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, which I had to read for school, was a book I found mind-numbingly boring (sorry, Hemingway fans!) and not at all deep like my curriculum claimed it was supposed to be. It all seemed rather pointless to me, and either too generic or too stark to be the kind of allegory I enjoy.
[via Pinterest]

5. Who (disregarding the classic authors, like Tolkien, Stevenson, and Dickens) is your favorite author?

If you’ve been an adventurer ’round these parts for any length of time, it’s pretty safe to say you know the answer to this.
And once again my answer is not singular.
Bryan Davis, Anne Elisabeth Stengl, and Ted Dekker–in no particular order–are three of my tippity top favorite authors. Together they represent some of my favorite qualities in fiction!

6. What is your favorite movie scene of all time?

TOO MANY. And actually I’ve never sat down to analyze favorite scenes as opposed to favorite movies. Even if I knew what my favorite movie was, you’ve now made my dilemma a hundred times more difficult by giving me a hundred options within an option!
Huh. Options within options . . . Dreams within dreams, anyone? Because that final dream sequence in Inception is one of my faves. (I also hate it with a vengeance. If you’ve seen it, you’ll understand perfectly.)
And I love Aslan’s death and resurrection scene in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; as well as the attack on Miraz’s castle in Prince Caspian.
While we’re discussing fantasy movies, can I just say the entire Lord of the Rings movie trilogy is my favorite? No? Okay. Anything taking place in the Shire = favorite. Anything containing Gandalf quips = favorite. The scene in The Return of the King where shots of the battle are intercut with Pippin singing = also favorite.
Lizzy and Mr. Darcy in the field at the end of Pride and Prejudice (2005) is another favorite.
Oh, I also love the boat scene in Tangled where Rapunzel and Eugene sing “At Last I See the Light.” All the feels.
Aaaand I’d better stop, but before I do–the “ground rules” scene between Peter and Gwen in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is just . . . just . . . excuse me, I have to go have a good cry.
[via Pinterest]

7. If you had to pick one pen name/stage name to use forever instead of real one, what would it be?

Oh dear. I have difficulty coming up with pen names, because . . .
a) Where do I start?
b) It’s so final–you don’t want to write one book under a pen name and then decide, “Oops, I like this other name better. Can I change mid-series?”
c) There’s pressure to make it a good name that represents you and your books and your main genre and it’s supposed to memorable.
d) I would be paranoid about avoiding ridiculous pen names like Daisy Meadows (who writes juvenile fairy books) and Michael Steel/Gunn (not a real person, but I’ve seen something similar for an author of thrillers).
My real name just seems easier. But if I absolutely had to pick a pseudonym, I would call myself Violet Dragonsbane.
HA. NOT.
Okay, to be serious, the name Samantha Quinn just came to mind. My parents considered naming me Samantha, and the letter Q is fun. Except now I’m squinting and wondering if Quinn sounds as ridiculous as Meadows, Steel, and Dragonsbane. It’s also worth considering the fact that a Q name would put me near the bottom of the shelf in a library or bookstore. Maybe Samantha Blake or Samantha Foster. I really don’t know!

8. What do you think is the best hobby a person could have? What about your own personal favorite hobby?

Journaling. It’s an ebbing and flowing hobby for me, but I find it so helpful for venting feelings, clarifying thoughts, and writing down prayers and musings. Obviously not everyone in the world processes their thoughts in written form as I do, but for those who share that tendency, I think journaling does wonders.
My personal favorite hobby is–wait, I want you to guess! It’s a laughably easy thing to notice, so tell me in the comments what you think it is.
[via Pinterest]

9. What is your favorite kind of scenery to be in (forests, riverside, etc.)?

Any place with trees, so yes, forests are a favorite of mine. I also find mountains cropping up all over my books, so those too. Lakesides and meandering streams are also lovely.

10. Do you enjoy poetry? If so, who, in your opinion, is the greatest poet ever?

I do! Unfortunately, I have not studiously sought out many poets’ works yet. But from what I have read, I really enjoy Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. (I know, I know. Typical high school assignment kind of poetry, but I’m serious. I love most of the (very little) Frost and Dickinson I’ve read.)

11. Where, if you could choose anywhere in all Europe, in any time period, would you go?

Italy! Renaissance! Yes!
But I would make it a point to travel Britain and France and probably the entirety of Europe as well.
[via Pinterest]

A new set of questions:

1. What’s the most addicting app on your phone?
2. What’s a song that speaks to your life right now?
3. Do you have a book or movie that’s your “happy place”–a fictional world into which you retreat when you need a breather? What is it?
4. What’s a book you were (or are) looking forward to so much you’re scared to read it, for fear it won’t live up to your expectations?
5. If you had to have all of your past memories wiped except for one day, which day would you choose to remember?
6. What question would you like to ask one of your favorite authors?
7. If you had to describe yourself as one of the four seasons, which would it be?
8. What’s your personality type? (Myers Briggs, DISC, whichever test you prefer.)
9. An envelope containing $500 shows up on your doorstep. On what do you spend it?
10. Would you rather be trapped in a lamp, a tower, or an enchanted sleep?
11. Which Disney villain(ess) do you find the most scary?
