@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com This is a really interesting examination of the different goals of writing workshop participants. I benefited from a creative writing MA, though focused on poetry rather than fiction. (Also, Kevin Baconly, I believe at that same school I took classes from Rebecca Makkai’s father, linguist Adam Makkai.)

@LingLass@hcommons.social I've always been puzzled by workshops/MFA programs; my own experience with a “creative writing teacher” in college was so bad I never wanted to take another class and every critique group etc. I've ever heard of sounds miserable. But I'm a huge introvert, and understand mileages vary.
