It took me two years to write it (and revise it) and then I went to a writer's conference. Now I'm writing queries and sending the manuscript out while also polishing short stories for publication and writing another novel. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to go to something more recent and see how you did!

The MFA would offer time and community, plus other benefits you listed. But there are days when I look at the entrepreneurial side of the academic writing community and wonder how anyone is getting any writing done.
