The End of the MFA

It has finally happened. I am reaching the end of my Master’s in Fine Arts in Creative Writing. As I’ve referenced in previous posts (here, here, and here), this journey has not been easy from the very beginning. I was thinking about dropping out before I even started. However, I stayed with it using “sheer bloodymindedness” as one dear friend told me. That attitude would end up destroying me. I honestly didn’t know I could still be broken like this and I can already tell that I will need years to heal from has happened and how hard it has been to balance this program alongside running my business.
