Holy Cow, I Did Go to College For This

My degree is in Theatre Studies, and the thing for which I showed the most talent was stage management--an odd catchall of persuasion, tact, organization, and last-minute Hail Mary passes. When I was the Assistant to the Publisher at Tor I used to say that there was a direct connection between what I did there and my degree. Likewise my jobs running summer programs at Harvard, and editing comics at Acclaim. And I sometimes feel that working at home, writing, those particular muscles are going flabby.
( Of course I was wrong about that. )
