The Center for the Study of Science Fiction at KU offers a novel-writing workshop each summer, taught this year by Kij Johnson (whose “26 Monkeys, Also The Abyss” is one of the Nebula finalists this year), and I just sent my application for this summer, which makes me nervous because
a. I might not get in.
b. I might get in.
If I don’t get in, I will have been rejected and will feel bad about that. (Drat.)
If I get in, I have to come up with the cash and burn some vacation time to attend, but more importantly, I WILL HAVE TO FINISH WRITING THE BOOK. I’ll be committed. (Yipe!) This is actually a big part of the reason I’m applying, to have a deadline that will not push, but it’s still a bit nerve-wracking. In a good way, though.
Anyway, deadlines are your friends, right?
