Thanks for all the lovely words of luck and success, I appreciate every one of them. Suzanne, thanks for the reference to advice for new students over at quakeshakenmama, I went and read it and got a kick out of it. Apparently, the only thing I'm doing wrong is that I've given up my day job. Wendy, thanks for leaving a comment, and for saying that you'd do it all over again. That's just the sort of thing I need to hear these days. Hey you guys! Thanks for all the lovely words of luck and success, I appreciate every one of them.

I uprooted my entire life at 29, leaving a great job great friends and a place I loved living because I had that feeling too—if I didn't make this change and follow my (how cliche) "dream" I'd go crazy in the life I was living. Now a year after finishing and having survived what I call the best and worst 2 years of my life I would do it all over again without any hesitation. Enjoy your new journey! (I think this maybe the first time I've posted here. I really enjoy reading your blog and the pleasure you find in all aspects of your life.)

I remember my first day in an MFA program for creative writing (Emerson College, Boston). I sat there thinking, "I did it! I'm HERE." I had the time of my life and made some good friends along the way. Also, my best friend (who I met in the program) just was blogging about advice for new students -- quakeshakenmama.blogspot.com. (I added my 2 cents in the comment area.) I really enjoy your writing. You'll do well! Hurray for you! I remember my first day in an MFA program for creative writing (Emerson College, Boston).

If it helps at all, my calendar is a moleskin, so at least it's kind of cool. I’m just a 20th century kind of girl. If it helps at all, my calendar is a moleskin, so at least it’s kind of cool.
