Enrolled in the MFA Creative Writing program at Antioch University, Los Angeles about a year and a half ago. It's one of the best things I've ever done. I love the program which finishes up in June. I finally finished rewriting GROWING CHOCOLATE and entered it in the Amazon/Penguin contest.
I don't know whether to be optimistic or not. I have learned that what I feel at any given moment about my work has little to do with how it's received. Emotions give us information, but shouldn't be an exclusive guide. Anyway, quarterfinals will be announced in March. In the meantime, I'm working on my fourth novel, WRESTLING ALLIGATORS. About halfway through. Back to it.
