Early Admission to Odyssey

Of my three workshop applications (Clarion, Clarion West, and Odyssey), the first one just came back: I was accepted for early admission to Odyssey.

HELL YEAH!!!

For those of you who would like to see the story that got me in, email me at thundress@hotmail.com and I'll send it to you. Or, for those who are really daring, sign up for my next sci-fi novel at kingnovel@gmail.com and mention The Golden Directive and I'll send them both your way.

Also, ditto for anyone who would like to read one of the two Honorable Mentions I've received in the Writers of the Future Contest. If this is the case, mention Parasite or Fury of the Sphinx. I like them both, but personally I think Parasite was better.

But back to the point: The Odyssey acceptance means I will definitely be going to one of the Big Three writing workshops this summer. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm going to hold out in confirming with Odyssey as long as I can, to see if 1) I get accepted to the other two and 2) if any of the three will offer scholarships. Damn I need a scholarship.

The really cool thing about this is that, within a 24-hour period, I learned I was a Writers of the Future Honorable Mention and I got the green light from Odyssey. This is definitely my year, folks. :)
