didn’t quote the original msg but this applies to everyone: an MFA is not what makes you a writer. there is always a way out and an MFA is not the only one!
besides, every rejection leads you 1 step closer to what is meant for you - a better school, a better experience, a way out. be as negative as you want but when you pick yourself back up, keep going. the ones who fail are genuinely the ones who stop trying.
this is building your immunity, trust. the entire writing world is filled with rejection. but it only takes one yes 🙂
