Dear Blunt Instrument,
I'm a young writer who has spent the past three years learning to balance a full time job with writing. Last year I applied-unsuccessfully-to a few MFA programs. At the center of my personal statement was a writing group that has been an immense gift to me both as a writer and as a person. They were all saddened to hear that I didn't get into any MFA programs, but one of the few perks of not getting in was that I got to continue being a member of this group.
