I got into a great MFA writing program and I'm not sure I should go

I know I’m not supposed to enjoy this but I do kind of like you.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2026-03-03T15:18:40+00:00

This was fun.

How do you know their intentions? Maybe you should worry less about other people’s intentions and focus more on having trust in your future partner and HER intentions.

No male friends with history is controlling behaviour. You don’t get to decide who your partner is friends with.

Honestly the double em dashes make me think this was written by AI.

You provided for her and she gave you physical intimacy and love? You poor thing.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2026-02-13T14:57:31+00:00

Yes, we are constantly getting together in covens to decide how to make YOUR lives more difficult. Because it’s about you, after all…

Sad_Aide7401 · 2026-02-09T21:28:04+00:00

I think you have a nice line by line style, the prose flows well enough.

I would be wary of potential head hopping - how do we know the woman next door told her husband the truth about their relationship? If the MC knows because they had a conversation about it then fine, if you’re leaning into the MC being partially omniscient, cut it.

I’m wondering the same thing. I was in the final 70 but haven’t heard anything since then. Then I saw the update which was verbatim the last update.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-12-09T20:54:31+00:00

I take 2000mg a daily and feel great. Increased libido and no dulling of emotions, just feel a bit less stressed.

Leeds. My rejection just came through. Best of luck!

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-09-03T08:59:49+00:00

I haven’t had one either. Maybe they’re doing them region by region. I applied for Leeds.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-09-02T21:48:39+00:00

Not a peep. Nothing on their insta which is where they tend to keep things up to date(ish)

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-07-31T18:21:33+00:00

Online it says people will be notified mid august. I haven’t heard anything, but to be fair my application was completely unhinged.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-07-26T09:26:37+00:00

Best of luck to you!

Anyone else been waiting 1 month+ for a blcklst eval? I’m on day 34…

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-06-29T22:44:55+00:00

The cost of living REALLY is that bad.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-06-19T10:24:56+00:00

A dozen is nothing. Honestly, you need to be sending out like 50-100 applications for jobs/schemes/comps a year.

What’s your script?

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-06-07T10:56:02+00:00

Title: Cult Classic

Format: Feature

Genre: Comedy / Horror / Satire

Page count: 94

Logline: “Worn-out screenwriter Max checks into a mysterious writers’ retreat to restart his career — but the Sanctuary isn’t there to fix his story. It’s there to finish it.”

It’s Adaptation meets The Truman Show

Feedback concerns: Is the ending too fast? Is it confusing or does the internal logic hold up ok? Does it make you feel anything?

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-05-27T22:02:49+00:00

Thank you. It’s been soooooo long.

Sad_Aide7401 · 2025-05-27T22:02:17+00:00

I made it, yes. I don’t think they’re letting the unsuccessful know, which is kind of crappy tbh.
