Who's With Me?
The seemingly ever-present panic over grad schools has intensified. I gave one of my prof's my letters of recs forms. That part went fine.
It was the part where he casually mentioned that the schools might not understand the concept of wanting to write children's fiction that got me. Panic sets in.
Nice professor man suggests I send in less child-oriented works to the schools. Panic increases. All of my fiction is child oriented.
So, I've come to a conclusion. Since there are no universities offering an MFA in Creative Writing for Children. I'm going to start my own program and by extension my own university. I'm willing to add a Spanish MFA for Cath and an English minor for Holly. We can hold classes in my basement. We just have to promise to turn off the TV when we hold classes. And I figure, we can live in my basement to simulate the "dorm experience." The only tricky part is not allowing my parents to know we've turned the basement into a worldclass university. Details to be worked out later.
