It’s been a long road…
A personal update on finally reaching the end of an MFA program and turning that reclaimed time back toward writing and publishing.
…But the end is finally in sight.
For those who don’t know me personally, I followed what would be largely considered a “non-traditional college path.” This includes two formal degree changes, probably a dozen informal ones, and all starting college courses eight years after I graduated high school. Since then, I obtained my Associate of Liberal Arts degree in 2013 and my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and English in 2018. And as of today, I found I passed my last class for my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
Now, I get to wait until December while my university completes its degree audit. Once that is done, I expect to formally receive my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing.
What does that mean for my site and social media accounts? Well, for starters, I now have time that isn’t taken up by school, and I expect to be much more active. And part of that will be getting more in-depth about my methods and madness in writing. So, please stand by for more content.
Additionally, it’s officially time for me to start looking for a publisher! My novel is completed, and I’m waiting for feedback from my instructor (it’s more in-depth than the fact that it met the requirements to pass the class) and a wonderful editor who offered to give it the once-over for high-level issues. Once I get this feedback, I plan another round of revision and editing, and I’ll start sending off query letters. This also means that I’m starting on book 2: Whispered Battle.
