Invite your friends to read Ines Johnson is having a Breakdown

Thank you for reading Ines Johnson is having a Breakdown — your support allows me to keep doing this work.

Fun fact: I had enrolled in Grad School last year to gain an MFA. Ines, you’re a trained screenwriter who’s been writing fiction for over ten years with more than 100 published romance novels. What’s an MFA program going to teach you.

My friends asked me this question, too.

I thought I needed the credentials to teach others what I knew. But as I sat in the classes being taught by authors who had published one book ten years ago and had no clue of today’s marketing trends or desires to make money (I was told several times to my face that it wasn’t honorable to make money off the craft), I decided the MFA program wasn’t for me.

But I still want to do this work of deep dives into writing craft, genre studies, and the psychology of fiction. So I’m just gonna do it here.

I hope you’ll stick around and also invite your friends to join me.
