Clarion South is looming....

Like one of those massive monsters from Japanese movies that my brother and I watched on Saturday afternoons, Clarion South towers over the skyline of my life. But is it Godzilla or Mothra? Good or bad?

I found out a while ago that there is a specific Japanese word for these monsters: Daikaiju, or, alternatively, Kaiju. It's also the name of an anthology of giant-monster tales. One of the editors is going to be one of the tutors at Clarion South.

Now I must go and finish the story I volunteered to write ahead of time to prime the Clarion pump (to mix metaphors rather spectacularly).
