“My god, people are selling their work and people are reading it! The horror! That MFA programs have to advertise that they'll let you write YA or fantasy or what-have-you is just absurd, but we do, because the presumption is that they're closed to that sort of thing. You're offering an MFA in creative writing? Teach people how to write well, worry about that part, let the writers come up with the stories.” PeopleWritingWellsStoriesReadingTeachWorryFantasyCreativeHorrorProgramCome UpAbsurdSellingOfferingCreative WritingPresumption Author:Tod Goldberg
“A mother should have some fantasy about her child's future. It will increase her interest in the child, for one thing. To turn the fantasy into a program to make the child fly an airplane across the country, for example, isn't the point. That's the fulfillment of the parent's own dreams. That's different. Having a fantasy - which the child will either seek to fulfill or rebel against furiously - at least gives a child some expectation to meet or reject.” GivingShouldChildrenDifferentCountryDreamMotherTurnsParentInterestFantasyOne ThingExampleExpectationsProgramShould HaveIncreaseFulfillmentRejectsRebelAirplane Author:James Hillman
