So-
I haven't written a lot about this, but for the last couple of years I've been working toward an MFA in Writing from the Spalding University Low Residency program in Louisville, Kentucky.
On Saturday, June 4, I received my degree. This is a huge step for me. It's the reason I left my 15 year job with Schweitzer Engineering. My writing and other work for this degree were focused primarily on screenwriting, with excursions into playwriting, writing for musical theater, and writing for children.
For any of you interested in a professional writing program, I highly recommend looking into Spalding. The staff and writing mentors are the best. The program is mostly independent writing under the guidance of a mentor with two 10 day residencies each year that are intense to say the least.
The Spalding MFA program was co-founded by Sena Jeter Naslund, who is still active as program director. Look her up!
Anyone interested in talking more about this, please contact me through my guestbook or Facebook page. I will glad to give you more information.
I have been teaching songwriting as an adjunct for two community colleges. I am also working on television pilots. One of which is attracting some interest. Too early to be excited or more specific, but validating.
Who knows where this will lead, but I'm on the road!
