This is going to be so fun. And if you still have a few slots open on your 52/52 list, I bet we could come up with something you could do on campus. I’m thinking beer bongs and keg stands? I can already hear the undergrads chanting your name.

For a time I worried that I’d end up regretting leaving my job and doing this, but really, the fact that I’m going for it is something I think I should never regret. It’s not that I expect any huge tangible result after the MFA — beyond going deeper than ever with my writing, of course, which is really all that matters.

Thank you! You’re so right about the fresh perspective. I’m happy where I am now, but after a certain point I think change is important. I’m a little nervous about all this, but I actually take that as a good sign.

So excited for you–and for me, too! When you’re tired of talking about writing in your classes, you can come talk about it with me! I’m envisioning lots of Bloody Marys and beers, and you can teach me your best mime moves…

Oh, Laura. You always make the right decisions for yourself and your writing, and I am very sure this gift of time is something you’ll never regret. I hope the next two years are everything you’ve dreamed of and much more.

Congratulations!
