New comic about my first year of grad school… Unfortunately this comic is too long for email :( What can I say? Sometimes I have big comics to share! If you’re struggling to see it in your inbox, come read it on Substack!
The MFA Demon
As always, thanks for reading!

I just graduated with my MFA in Creative Nonfiction where I made a graphic memoir thesis and focused on comics. I have also been laughed at and made fun of. Workshops can be brutal. Find mentors who you can lean on when the going gets tough. Sometimes you only need one person who believes in you to push you through the hard parts. And be that person for yourself always! Remember your why! You got this!
I'm considering applying for an MFA in creative writing and I constantly oscillate between whether it's something I want or not. Grad school feels like a black hole from the outside- like what actually happens there?? The most helpful bits of information are from people who are honest about their experiences, how it helps and how it may hinder, and this comic is a wonderful example of that. Thanks for sharing!!
