ADMIN PASSWORD: Remember Me

Ondine
She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She's got everything she needs, She's an artist, she don't look back. She can take the dark out of the nighttime And paint the daytime black. --Bob Dylan

Getting on a plane Friday night and flying off for a thrilling week of Viable Paradise Writers Workshop. I am so fucking nervous and excited.

I don't like leaving my family. I will miss my online and irl friends. I will miss Armen and the dojo. I don't know these people I am going to be spending a week with. This is a very big step for me, writing wise. It's daunting to think editors of TOR will be sitting across from me, telling me how to make my story publishable. At least I am going with the story that got me accepted. I know they liked it enough to give me a spot.

I am not a good schmoozer. I tend to hang out in the kitchen at parties, begging the hostess or the maid to let me help cook or do the dishes. I just watched Angel at my Table, the biographical movie about Janet Frame, a New Zealand writer. At one point her therapist tells her that she doesn't have to mingle with people if she doesn't want to. And I was like "YES!" I love people, but I just don't like them around too much. Ugh...ok it's a week and it's my career. I can do this.
