I got my MFA. Money, Fentanyl and Ammunition

The MFA debate pops up every few months and it is worthless every time. Do it, don’t do it, there are positives and negatives involved in each decision based on your goals. Mostly it’s what you do after that matters.

“Separating the art from the artist” has always seemed like a bullshit cop-out to me. If I enjoy someone’s art, that doesn’t necessarily mean I have the same political views as the artist, just that they were able to create amazing art. Great art throughout history has been…

People into Debates need to join People Into Cinema in the E.T. landfill.

While everyone's mouthing off about mfas, i just wanted to say: i enjoyed the mfa program i attended. It was very helpful, to have a willing audience to read and discuss pieces. There was some genre-based pressure to fit in a certain form, but not an amount that made me retreat…

People Are Saying this is a great podcast about the “literary man” debate. Some are even saying it is the greatest conversation on the topic. Perhaps the greatest conversation ever.

The only real "cure" for a hangover is to be generally well-hydrated in your everyday life. And between every alcoholic drink have a glass of water. Trust me, I'm a pro (aka Australian)
