So I’ve just started on my second MFA class – Advanced Studies in Literature. I was able to finish my first class with an A and it’s nice to know that a decade out of my last degree I can still pull this thing off.
My favorite thing about that first intro class was that it asked us to take ourselves seriously as writers and to look toward what kind of career we wanted and how the program could help us. I have a day job I love, but writing is still intrinsic to who I am and one wish I had for enrolling in an MFA program was that it would help me focus in on that. Not only did I keep up with the coursework but I’m over 130 pages into the follow up novel for Rell after being stalled out for quite a while, which is exciting.
Here’s hoping I can keep up the pace!
