by Jonterri GadsonHey all! My car is stuffed and I'm hitting the road in the morning. Here's a few links I've read over the last week or so concerning MFA programs and preparing for them:
Saeed Jones delivers Part Two of his How to Work the Workshop series. Some great tips. I'm sure a lot of us have workshop experience already, but I still found these tips really helpful.
Nancy Rawlinson gives “Writing Advice: The World Doesn’t Give a Rat’s Ass about Your MFA”
Claire Light and Barbara Jane Reyes on the “MFA Industrial Complex” (ummm… Barbara Jane Reyes wrote 2 poetry books while doing her MFA!)
All of these links have helped to get me in a better mindset about entering my program in a few weeks. Feel free to post any links to good reads for us all in the comments or just any info/inspiration/encouragement/tips.
I'll be on the road for the next week. Wahida has admin access to the blog. She can add new contributors or make updates if anyone gets any ideas.
Share your good advice in the comments, please!
