Bruno Thomas: I?ve be accepted to the MFA program at Lindenwood University in Saint Charles Missouri. Their the #2 US program that offers a complete online course of classes. LindenWood is one of the best online schools in creative writing in the country. They have many professors with doctorates and that are pushcart award winners. It would be nice to connect with all these professors and classmates around the world. Maybe someday land a agent my third book. |

I will give you a couple of tips about writing here at FS, if you don't mind. First of all, don't allow this site to shift the focus from your wanting. If you want it to be your career, don't spend too much time here. Have fun here, but see it for what it is. It took me about 15 years to get to the stage where I'm making good money from writing, but so many people spend too much time here and get hoodwinked into thinking their writing is better than what it actually is. And if you want to get a real publisher or agent, not a self publishing option, even when it's free like on Kindle, don't tell them about your work on this site, and if you have anything published on Kindle or any other similar POD site, don't tell them about those either. As counterintuitive as it might seem, it will work against you. Start as a starry-eyed newcomer with the qualification you get from your legitimate course at Lindenwood. If you tell publishers/editors/agents about here or Kindle, for example, they will think you have already had public exposure and your work did nothing. And they know that there are thousands and thousands of these books sitting and doing nothing on these sort of places. And don't' get too precious over anything you write. Be open to suggestions. And here, that means ignoring the flattery and the stars, and realizing that the people that are helping you the most are the four star reviews with suggestions for improvement. FS is not an end in itself, well, for some elderly people who aren't interested in being a professional writer, it may be an end in itself, and that's fine if you are in that bracket. But be prepared for a lot of rejection, but don't give up. It is actually a great time to be a writer. I wish you every success with your writing, cheers, Eve. (Sorry for any errors in this, I write as is I think.) - | ||
