I don't know much about creative writing programs. But they're not telling the truth if they don't teach, one, that writing is hard work, and, two, that you have to give up a great deal of life, your personal life, to be a writer. ↗

I wanted to write about my mother as she should have been if she had not been messed up by World War I. ↗
