Honest-To-Goodness Expert
If you are a fledgling writer who wants more than my crazed ramblings, you might be considering graduate school.  MFA programs for writing have changed the course of a few of my writer-friends' careers.  I myself attended the far-seeing graduate journalism school at NYU, and managed to carve out a little bit of a life for myself in New York. 

These programs are good for two things: craft and connections.  But don't take my word for it.  Jeffrey Yamaguchi over at the ever-inspiring 52 Projects site found us an honest-to-goodness MFA expert. 

Dig it...

"Tom Kealey has put together a comprehensive guide for people interested in applying to creative writing MFA programs (as well as MA and PhD programs): The Creative Writing MFA Handbook. The book, published by Continuum, serves to help prospective students during the critical stages of their search: 'researching, applying, and deciding.'"

And most importantly, I would like to stress that MFA programs Are Not For Everyone!  If you don't believe me, read this wonderful Slate article by Bryan Curtis about Dan Brown's literary theory.  Mr. Brown figured out everything all by himself...

If there are known facts, mostly pertaining to these quotes of particular past geniuses, and all the while agreed upon by many more geniuses of this world, "That everything passes and nothing is quite what it seems", and all the while it has been said over and over "that history does continues to repeat itself". Why then in this Hell aren't these statements taken more seriously by the supposed more educated and intellectuals of this world?
