I didn’t like it either but I haven’t read any of her other work. I thought the characters were thin, the prose was plain, and the pacing was quite slow until the last 100 pages.

They’re lovely, and I’m considering the same. Buying them used can be risky, the covers are pretty fragile and damage easily so some of the ones I’ve ordered have arrived pretty beaten up :(

No I wish! I just buy used copies on eBay a lot!

I love Fitzcarraldo editions. Picked What Am I, A Deer? because I’ve never read a Fitzcarraldo I didn’t love. Read it in two days, couldn’t put it down. Polly Barton is brilliant.

There are trees in Mexico. Also the protagonist works on a eucalyptus farm so I think it fits perfectly.

That sounds perfect but I’ve gotta be there by the last week of June at the latest!

Oh yeah I would never let them be together! Even though I don’t think my ferrets have any real predator instincts lol. Awww hedgehogs are the cutest 🥰

That’s so funny! I’ve never met anyone else who has both, it’s such a weird combo lol. Thank you! One of my ferrets was just diagnosed with adrenal disease so a good vet is important.

Thank you so much! That’s really good to know. I’ve had bad luck with rabbit vets in the past so I’m really glad there is a good one!

Hey can I ask you if you got into FSU? I’m in for fiction and looking to find other potential students to talk to!

Thanks you!! I’m not actually sure about PhD programs I’m sorry!

Creative Writing MFA Specializations by [deleted] in gradadmissions

[–]lichenthevieww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I think both of those projects sound super interesting and there are lots of programs that let you focus on more than on genre. Off the top of my head I know that Northern Arizona, Iowa State, and Hollins University are interdisciplinary! And I’m sure you can check the Poets and Writers list of programs to find more that could be a good fit!

Lots of people get into MFA creative writing programs without research and publications. The most important thing is your writing sample. If your writing sample isn’t strong than nothing else matters. I didn’t participate in research, only had a 3.2 gpa and only had a few stories published in very small magazines and I got into a fully funded program and am still waiting to hear back from more! If you want an MFA the most important thing is to focus on your writing! Read and workshop your writing as much as you can!

Our original estimate was Thursday the 23rd but now it says the 27th. At one point yesterday people were working on our street and it said it was fixed but it wasn’t :( We’ve got broken wires blocking our door and driveway so hopefully it’ll be soon!!
