I wonder if they'd take me?

A master's program for budding writers blossoms on Whidbey

If it weren't for the cost and the fact that, honestly, I don't have room in my life to start taking classes (and the fact that while a master's in writing would be fun, it wouldn't exactly be useful), I'd *so* be all over it. It sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe not this fall, but maybe the fall after that...

(Also a problem? Reccommendations. As in, it's been eight years since I darkened the door of a school, and it's unlikely that any of my professors would remember me.)

I'm guessing the lovely silenceleigh has had enough of Iowa City, though. ;)

The ASU one might be interesting for me, as my folks live in Phoenix now. I've proven to myself that I can get some work done on demand, as I wrote 11 or 12 poems in April as part of National Poetry Month, so I might start taking a closer look at conferences now.

The ASU one doesn't look like it will offer a lot of time to sit around and write. You can take part in "Small Group Instruction" workshop sessions -- it costs $50 extra, I think -- and the rest looks to be all lecture/discussion sessions and readings. But they have some really cool faculty, and (unlike almost any other conference) it's a combination of literary and SFF-type writers.
