Wow, I'm at the edge of my seat reading through this forum. I've been lurking on here for the past couple of weeks. I may apply to the MFA in fiction next application cycle. Not sure yet. It's been eleven years since I've been to grad school (withdrew from a phd program, but walked out with an MA). Been taking some online creative writing classes because, you know, I need recommendation letters. Next application cycle may be just as crazy as this one, so I may not apply and just write my novel instead and avoid all the stress of academia. Looking forward to seeing where you all end up! ?
