Yesterday I finally spent my morning writing my book.  I got 366 words out of the 466 goal.  That’s not bad.  I’m not sure how realistic finishing by the end of the year is though.  This new class is time consuming to say the least.  It’s the study of the English language (i.e. linguistics) – super interesting but there is so much to get done.  My degree is a master’s of arts (MA), and that’s the difference between an MA and a master’s of fine arts (MFA) – in an MA you learn more than just writing, in an MFA it is only writing/more focused or concentrated.  I actually didn’t know this going into my current program, but I think I still picked the right one.  I think these other classes will help my writing.  I am also looking at being an editor if I’m not able to make a living writing, but let’s hope it doesn’t get to that.
