So, this post is going to be a little different… The Creative Writing MFA program I am taking is a low-residency program. This means that most of the time I do my work at home on the computer, but twice a year, I go to study with my classmates and professors in Oklahoma City. Taking…
With the approach of autumn, my life has once again taken some amazing new turns. Those who follow me on social media know that I finished my BA in English this year, and was accepted into an MFA program. I just finished my first 10-day residency and met the most amazing group of people,…
