I’m so curious about the MFA program. Where are you attending? I have an MBA, and have at times considered pursuing an MFA for the joy of it.... but then I figured it would entail a focus on works I would derive little joy from. I also wondered if I’d get enough out of it. Very curious to hear your experience. I’ll read along! Flame and the Flower is on my TBR.
Unfortunately, it's not joyful. They are appalled at the books I prefer to read. HOWEVER, there is a thriving academic romance community which I am in love with interacting with. But no, I'm not getting anything out of the program other than the degree that will qualify me to teach at the higher ed level.
In an odd sort of way, this makes me feel better. When I took my last test as an MBA student, I promised myself that would be my last test (I don’t particularly enjoy them). But yet there’s a part of me that thinks... maybe what my writing career is missing is an MFA! And it would be a fun degree. You helped wipe that little part out. Lol. On to read the classic Flame and the Flower. My kind of classic.
