Thank you for the input! I did look into the Alaska program, a bit too far from where I now love for me. Another program I found was at Chapman University in Southern California, which has pretty much exactly what I want, but again, too far. I would definitely lean more towards an MA in Literature more than an MFA in Creative Writing. We will see. I am going to apply to Chapman as well as some individual programs closer to home, some for literature some for writing, and just see what happens, hopefully by mid-spring I will know more of where I would like to be.
Thanks again!
