rock on. way to cover the field.
my grad thesis was half a novel...something i wanted to complete for a long time but i think it's become something like the unfinished book in _wonder boys_.
were you in an mfa program? how'd you like it?
I loved it. Best three years of my life. It was intensive; we just didn't do an MFA we did an MA and MFA at the same time. Plus, I was able to teach 2 classes a semester for the University, so I actually got a full tuition waiver and 1k a month stipend. I met Pulitzer prize winning writers and work shopped with them. I also had the pleasure of studying under a Ruth Lilly prize winner who was awarded the Anthony Hecht prize while I was there, and that was just one of my profs. It was a great experience.
