And on the phone, the head of the program said, "I love, I have to say, your writing sample."

I got iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dreams are REAL, baby, and they want you JUST as much as you want them!  I'm going to VA on the 22 to revel in the fruits of THIS mutural love affair with my LIFELONG AMBITION!!!

I always thought that the onset of this moment would make me listen to Timbaland and feel all "I'm the MAN!" giddy-cocky, but I am faaaaaaaaaaaar too full of gratitude to feel remotely cocky, even as a joke.  SO many people helped get me here, um, including the boy working at the Mushroom in New Orleans without which this novel would have NEVER begun in its present form, and I am far too in awe of the magic in our Cosmos to believe for one second that this is all because of me.  Which is not to say I haven't worked my ASS OFF intellectually and emotionally to get here, so -- props to me and my gradually-reappearing ass!! For all the supportive words, for all the constant faith from all directions that held me in the moments of doubt, which were mercifully BRIEF because of the way things had fallen together -- for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, for everything, FOR EVERYTHING!!
