MFA Update

Personal statement has been worked and reworked and in two days and four drafts later it is something I am quite proud of. Of course it wouldn't have been possible without my best friend Mike.

My prose was like a tattered sword; yeah it could kill you but it would take a few swings before it broke the skin. Thanks to Mike that sword would get sharpened to a razors edge so that one clean cut will cleave a man in two. So to speak. The point is the P.S. is sharp now.

Personal Statement: Mission Accomplished
Statement of Purpose: Round One! Fight!!

It doesn't make sense to me, it is so vague:

In an essay, please describe your natural ability and motivation for graduate study in writing, including your preparation for writing, your academic plans or research interests and experience with writing, and your future career goals. Please be specific about why our MFA program would be a good intellectual fit for you.


I will be doing this tomorrow and applying in the evening. If all goes according to plan.
