A serious consideration is the location. I already live in Seattle, so lodging would not be an added cost. Viable Paradise, on the other hand, is at Martha's Vineyard, which would include travel costs as well.

In either case, I'd have to write something to meet the submission requirements.

My main concern is that now (the summer of 2005, that is) is not the time for me, that I need more time on the pavement, so to speak, first.
