I was in the living room with my boyfriend and mother when the phone rang and I knew before I even picked it up, somehow. They were confused by my alarmed face and kept asking questions so I ran into the backyard to concentrate on the call!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to meeting you, and here's to everyone getting amazing things out of the course.Marlee Janehttp://whoamolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12536328.post-72107415041885474152014-03-26T16:47:51.805-07:002014-03-26T16:47:51.805-07:00Prepare for a life-changing experience! As I ment...Prepare for a life-changing experience! As I mentioned on Twitter, I went in '99, and though I'm not quite the writing megastar I'd envisioned myself being by now, the people I met ended up helping me launch my career as an editor. You will meet many amazing people and make many useful connections. You will write like gangbusters. You will sleep very little. I'm not sure about the social atmosphere, since we weren't in the sorority house when I went, but it sounds amazing. (And you're fed more regularly than we were.)<br /><br />Go to all the social events you can. Sleep a lot now. Make sure to see the city. Write write write, and take advantage of what the teachers have to offer (feedback, advice, etc.). Don't take it too seriously--remember, you're there to enjoy the experience, too. (Being too intense leads to 6th-week burnout.) Don't beat yourself up if you're not writing flawless masterworks while you're there. (This is not the time for revisions. That comes when you return to Mundania.)<br /><br />And...that's all I've got for now. Besides a raging case of jealousy. :-) Looking forward to hearing all about it!<br /><br />SarahAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01726031382358208672noreply@blogger.com
