The October Blog Post

Hi! And welcome to my first blog post on my new website. I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, so I don't know how well this is going to turn out. I'm in the middle of classes at Emerson College in their Popular Fiction and Publishing MFA program. I'm in my second year now, and I have one year left, which would have me graduating after the Summer 2024 semester. To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate. The dream is to have a completed book that I can shop around. But barring that, I might look to change careers and see if I can get my foot in the door of a publishing house. If I can't write, I would love to be an editor. I don't have much to write at the moment, so I'm going to close with some ideas that I hope will become running components of my blog:
