Bio
Creativity is a force akin to a river. It is a thing to be managed and guided but never completely controlled. Sometimes it floods and dikes must be constructed to guide it properly on its path. Sometimes the flow flags and one must lean on one's reserves.
Moving through life has been a continual process of defining and refining my relationship to this force that is creativity, constructing healthy boundaries, working with reserves. My time in undergrad was focused on this. My time since then, both working on my writing and in my work life, has involved plenty more. Even my transition and growth into a mature adult has involved shaping that flow as I strive to better myself.
I am the house beside that river, and my walls are strong. I feel that this program will help me to better their construction, to allow my writing to mature, and to help me work all the more smoothly as I improve my skills. I look forward to learning and growing within the Cornell College MFA program.
