And now I can fall down and sleep for a month.

The package is in.  The check is in the mail.  My application for Viable Paradise is out the door.  Now I have the task of waiting.  Which won't be too hard, because everything in life, work, home, etc, is busy.  I can't say I won't notice the time, but I'm sure to be kept occupied.

Plus now I can read a book or two as reward for taking the leap.

Thanks for all the encouragement, and for the help.  If nothing else, I can say this: just the process of applying forced me to work on a new writing skill: the synopsis.  I can already see that I've a ton more to work on in that regards, but you have to start somewhere.  And I think, as with programming, nothing quite motivates me to pick up a skill like having an actual project to work towards.   

So, I'm tired, and still a bit buzzed from getting it all in.  This weekend, a family trip to Longwood Gardens.  And, I have no idea what I'll be doing come Sunday.  Hopefully, more resting and reading.   But probably I'll get back in the writing.  Because something needs working on.

Thanks. Now I just have to keep busy for, what, a month or so while the decisions get made. That shouldn't be hard, right?

Last year, I got my acceptance on June 29, so not as long as you think.

Yay! I look forward to hearing your reports from the island.

Gotta get accepted first. But so far, just by trying, I've met my second writing goal for the year. Got out to a new convention out of my regular haunts, and applied to a workshop. Now I just need to come up with the next goal.

I know. I was expressing my confidence that you will be accepted.

And next year, you can start querying agents.

A bit more down to the wire than I would have preferred. But at least I got the application in. Thanks for all the encouragement.
