"We're all bitched from the start and you especially have to be hurt like hell before you can write seriously. But once you get the damn hurt, use it; don't cheat with it."
are any of you applying for MFAs this coming year? I’m applying to Fiction programs (don’t worry, I know my poetry won’t get me in) and I have around eight on my list right now but I’m looking for people to discuss choices with. Best of luck to everyone and thanks to the hundreds (!!!) of you who continue following me even in my lack of posts.
?
