The Road Not Taken
The MFA process:
- A series of mentors who are writers
- Revision under direction of the mentors
- Learning a process of writing
- Craft-oriented, critical writing on work by other writers
- Learning what and how to"steal"
- Learning how to write by writing while reflecting on it
Then:
- practice like hell
- read like hell
- writers' workshops
- revise like hell
