It occurs to me that I haven’t updated ye olde blogge about my work situation since I was sent off into the wilderness by my last employer.

Well, after a lot of soul-searching, bitterness at the workaday world, and consultation with my family, I have ended up deciding to apply to grad school. The application deadlines are fast approaching, and getting into a school is pretty much my job at present. I’m applying to low-residency MFA Creative Writing programs, so every day is a struggle to believe in myself and the quality of my writing. My sister has been an amazing source of strength, support and ego-stroking. If all goes well, I will work on my grad degree from home for two or three years (varies by program) and continue to work from home on my writing after that.

Now just be dears and cross your fingers for me. wanders away muttering, “I AM a good writer, I AM a good writer”
