Because I know you’re so<\/span> interested (roll your eyes when you say that, pilgrim)…<\/p>\n

I voted for the Hugo Awards<\/a> at least four hours before the deadline on Monday. Yay me. I didn’t have time to read all the nominees, but I got through most of the novels (I’d read two of them already) and all of the novellas and novelettes. I had also seen all of the long-form dramatic presentation nominees already. I didn’t feel qualified to vote in any other categories–except Fan Writer, where I knew two of the nominees personally.<\/p>\n

I just submitted my application for the SIE Alumni Mentor Program<\/a>. So that’s done. This is the first time they’ve done this, so I’m not sure what to expect as far as being accepted. But I figure it can’t hurt to apply. It also got me to update my LinkedIn profile<\/a>, which serves as my résumé these days. (Weirdness: LinkedIn seems to have removed the “self-employed” option on profiles, so I couldn’t update the “aspiring screenwriter” section of my employment history without making up a company name. It feels like a bug, but I can’t make myself care enough to report it.)<\/p>\n

So, the new list (with deadlines)<\/span>:<\/p>\n
