On how I rediscovered passion for literature, shifted from a CS major to a creative writing MFA student, and began building a writing practice from in the blind
This is terrific, Blake, thank you. There are a number of things I can relate to, or at least appreciate (my life also changed when I discovered DFW, and I similarly used his influences as a launchpad for my own exploration and development). I studied writing but don't have an MFA, and have often wondered what difference that has made career-wise. But I completely agree that it makes absolutely no difference to the page, where everything must start and end. In sum, thanks for the great post!
Really appreciated this post. As someone who took the opposite route and got masters in lit and eventually wound up working in tech, this resonated with me a lot.
Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing!
