OMG Breaking News...

I've just been accepted to attend Launch Pad 2011, a week-long astronomy workshop for science fiction writers. It's funded by NASA and will be held this July in Laramie Wyoming. The guest instructor is Stanley Schmidt, editor of Analog. Other lecturers include University of Wyoming professors Michael S. Brotherton PhD and Jim Verley, PhD.

I am so incredibly stoked!

"Brain leaking out of ears" is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when coupled with "awe and pleasure and utter humility." Intense growing experiences, yay! And years of nifty ideas to weave into stories, super-yay!

Thanks so much for the link! I've had a wonderful anticipatory time reading your journal notes. I see what you mean about brain leaking of ears!

I don't know that anyone can ever be =completely= prepared for such an intense and intensive experience, but it does remind me of my first semester of college, which was way way harder than high school.

How have you used what you learned?
