But, there is something to be said for the aesthetics of books. I only had a thing for the super old dingy tomes that hint at the possibility of containing magic spells or treasure maps or “unsafe” stories.

Hugs from Bali!

I do think it is important to break the silence with MFA students about what they can expect in terms of the job market, although I recognize the difficulty in doing so. I tell my undergrads right up front about the writing world, but I’m sure some of that wears off by the time they get to grad school.

Congrats on the move and turning in grades! I know the writing rhythm will return as you settle.
