BAM!
Finally went from sage to prof! Now I just need to find the job to match the robes!
This is why I've been seriously inactive for far too long. Getting a graduate degree apparently takes work (who knew?). I might start lurking around a bit more, don't know quite yet, but just wanted to run in here and say that I finally did it and am now just a letter away from a college/university accepting me to be a professor for them. (Anyone know a creative writing program that is hiring?)
Now if only I could figure out how abracadabra works in real life. . . .
