I read you guys a lot at USSM and I just clicked over here to check out what you statheads do personally :) I'm a writer too and I know how hard it is to get into high-profile programs and workshops. You're so lucky to have a lot of people specializing in your genre right here in Seattle. I took a spec. fic. writing class at WSU two years ago as part of my creative writing requirements and I thought I was going to hate it because I didn't read either science fiction or fantasy. Of course I ended up really enjoying it because that's usually what happens when you go into something thinking you'll hate it. We spent several weeks talking to Lance Olsen through his online forum and read a lot of his stuff. I don't know if you've read any of it but I'd recommend him. He takes a lot of risks and there's a lot of humor in his pieces. Good luck with the workshop. I'll be interested to read a follow-up once you've finished the program. Congratulations!

From an outsider's perspective, it seems like you are making a good decision. Congrats again! From an outsider’s perspective, it seems like you are making a good decision.

(Not that I imagine my opinion had anything to do with it, obviously; I'm just happy on your behalf.) If you feel like it, tell Patrick that Scraps says hi. He and Teresa are just about my oldest friends in the world. I envy you getting to have Delany as an instructor; when I first came to New York more than twenty years ago, I was his personal assistant for a few months, and he was the smartest and mst interesting person I've ever had the privilege of conversing with.
