Several years ago I had a blog on LiveJournal, and I lost the pw and I had a different email, so I could not recover it. However, I recently googled the name of the blog, and I retrieved three years of my "old life" in sporadic posts. I decided I would like to resurrect my blog, but this time sharing my new life and my new venture. And I am still "Writing on a Prayer!"
Three years ago, I never would have thought I'd be where I am today. Three months ago, I never would have thought I'd be where I am today, but because of a good friend and great advice, I was offered the opportunity to enter into a low residency Creative Writing MA/MFA program at an awesome university.
I've gone about my entire career sort of backwards. Many writers I've known have pursued their graduate degree because they wanted to become a writer. I've decided to do this because I want to become a better writer, and because I was accepted into the program based on my writing and publication portfolio. You see, I've never been to college. This is quite a miracle for me. I've already traveled the bumpy road to publication (not quite as far as I would have liked to go.) But, I have more books inside of me that I still believe will one day reach a wider audience. So, I plan to share this venture with anyone who would like to join this journey of a middle-aged writer step it up a notch. I hope you'll come along.
