There are actually MFA programs that focus around genre fiction, but apparently, they're HARD to get into. I expressed an interest in doing that to my prof down in Corpus, and she said I could try, but they're so much in demand that you might be on a waiting list for-fucking-ever. That's one of the only reasons why I went with poetry, and I kind of regret that I did in a way. I love poetry. I love to read it, love to write it, but I'm starting to burn out on it because of the pretentious attitude I've encountered here. Now I just want to keep my head down and finish this program so that I can get out into the world and work and write what I want and if the opportunity presents itself, teach creative writing. My way.
