I took three as an undergrad and then I went on (10 years later) to obtain an MFA.<br /><br />Some of the best things I took away from the MFA?<br /><br />1-learning more about the history and contemporary art of writing<br />2-the fellow writers i met. we developed such a wonderful community<br /><br />and at least i can write the student loan interest off on my taxes :)Jessie Cartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13181286764480973423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612606440630784189.post-27182854194779960372010-05-08T11:08:47.359+01:002010-05-08T11:08:47.359+01:00Some good points Jess.

The tutor's advice definitely isn't always right! You should never be shy about forging your own path. <br /><br />Equally, it did give me another year to write what I wanted, and furnished me with a couple of new letters after my name. Horribly expensive though!Matthew Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361401816123030227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612606440630784189.post-59557996589492991512010-05-06T20:53:02.319+01:002010-05-06T20:53:02.319+01:00This is great!

Interesting post...as I never finished the BA and have quit prematurely every creative writing course I've ever taken I prpbably fall into the 'don't do it' camp. <br /><br />Love books, love writing, for the most part love the company of other writers and yet....<br /><br />Just sit down and write - that's my take on it! <br /><br />xxKerryTravelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07218878221004997949noreply@blogger.com
