1,000 Days
Is the fourth time the charm?

In September 2019, I came across Shaunta Grimes’ 1,000 Day DIY MFA. I have attempted it a few times in the past, however; I have not been successful.
I wanted to give it another go starting now.
The guidelines can be found here.
The program includes a lot of reading and writing- mine will probably look different month to month. Also, watching three movies a week. It’s a demanding program, but I think I’m ready for it.
I’ll be focusing more of my energy on poetry and non-fiction. I’ve tried fiction before. It was fun but it’s not my strong suit.
I chose to do the DIY MFA because I feel that it will install greater discipline in my writing. I want to test myself, discipline myself and see what comes out of the process.
