Here's what I take away:
- I'll give myself deadlines similar to what I had in school, so I continue to get my writing done
- I will watch for comma splices
- I will vary the length of my sentences
- I will keep in touch with my classmates and professors
- I won't use the word "grimace" or have my characters talk through clenched teeth
- I vow to continue to be a student of the writing craft
If you want to pursue a MFA, you have several options. You need to research what type of program you'd like to join. Literary fiction is not for me, so I knew I wanted to pursue Popular Fiction. SHU has a low residency requirement- 5 days/twice a year.
