Change of Pace

So after a long pause, I am returning to blogging. I am looking to begin dedicating more of my time to writing and attempting to get published. I recently had a poem accepted into The Battered Suitcase and the excitement has made me start thinking more and more that writing is what I want to go into. So what better way to get into writing than by... gasp! writing!

I am currently looking into MFA programs but I'm not really sure if that is what I want to do. I like writing in several genres (poetry, short fiction, long fiction, non-fiction, etc) and I also have a tendency towards more 'horror' style writing which many programs frown upon.

So far I've found Seton Hill's MFA in Writing Popular Fiction which is a low residency program (awesome for someone like me, with a job) so that's an exciting option. But for now I am going to try to stick to a routine of writing for thirty minutes a day, eventually working it up to an hour a day.

I'm going to try to update this blog at least twice a week, maybe more than that! What are your writing goals?
