I've been rejected by the finest creative writing program, and also the not so finest creative writing program. The first rejection was from the University of Iowa's MFA program, possibly the best creative writing program in the universe, and the second rejection was by the University of Wyoming's MFA program--the anti number one writing program in the universe. There are more cattle than people in Wyoming, and like a mindless cow, I thought I'd follow the herd to graduate school to wait out this depression. But I didn't get in so I had to get on with my writing career on my own. I've been writing for about a decade now, and I'm getting better every ten years. I went from terrible to tolerable, and in 2021 I hope to be Tolstoy. So enjoy my work, and bear with me. I am much like my writing: a work in progress. P.S. I have uploaded my University of Iowa rejection letter for your enjoyment. And my birthday really is on March 5th.
