Now What?

My friend (and MC Skat Kat/Paula Abdul-enthusiast) Anna has set up a new blog--So You Have an MFA--that's simultaneously refreshing, enlightening, terrifying, and necessary. In her own words:

In grad school, there is a real sense of a writing community, and I think that’s what I’m trying to get back with this blog.  This blog is for posting work.  It’s for giving and receiving feedback.  It’s for talking about writing, and writing about reading.  It’s for posting rejections and acceptances, and who knows what else.

It's a great idea, and there have already been some terrific posts and comments: meditations on creativity, the ultimate aims of submitting to journals, and a Skunk-Off.  You heard me.

I'll be contributing to the blog soon, and if you're at all interested in trying to write--regardless of whether you have or are planning to get an MFA--you'll be able to find something useful here.
