LOL

fingers are crossed, though my money is on you, in this genre my writing is mostly metaphysical....wish I could say it is Serling-esque [he and Kafka are my favs]

at this time I am doing 2 psychology courses, a math [required]   :(     and a writing course....just tidying up required courses before I start my Master's....can't wait. I'm thinking to take assignments and blend them with challenges/contests, kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.

good luck or what ever the writer's equivalent of 'break a leg' is.
