**I agree with this 110% I think a good MFA programs gets writers out of their comfort zones and into places they wouldn’t have been.

However, I believe the goal of MFA programs are to drive us all crazy with the MLA handbook and if we survive this insanity and still want to write, then we can call ourselves “writers.”

I haven’t cried yet, but I haven’t finished. Thanks for calling, your timing was incredible. I’ll call you back soon.

I tend to think that the MFA should provide writers the time to create a volume of work that they wouldn’t otherwise have the time to focus on. Of course, I decided against trying to publish my MFA thesis, but other folks are probably more practical.

Congrats on your degree!
