Cool Project AlertAfterTheMFA.com

My best buddy Gordon Hurd (that's Kendy to me) has just launched a new site: After The MFA. The site intends to be an exploration of what happens after one gets an MFA in writing. Here's the introductory post (and no, I didn't buy that bit about the green tea and the chocolate chip cookie), as well as this informative and hilarious entry: Seven Things I learned in a Creative Writing MFA Program. (Number #3 is spot on. I believe that rule applies to many places outside of the MFA workshop setting.) And there's also an excellent interview with Lewis Buzbee, author of The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop. Looking forward to more posts about life after the MFA, as well as explorations of the writing life in general.

Thanks for this, it was great to see somebody covering the big, uncharted wilderness looming after the MFA. Great link.
