That is a lot of very exciting ambitions.

And yes, it is possible to be an academic and a fiction writer. Not always - there are times on the tenure clock when one really can't write anything but those zillions of articles that one needs in order to avoid being fired - but for most of your career academia doesn't have to own your life any more than you let it.

Let me know if you want any help with grad school applications.

Thanks! *hug* They're KILLING me. More Crippling Anxiety and imposter syndrome than anything else--so /difficult/ to so much as write the personal essay, and they're due, like, NOW. Eugh.
