Three years ago this week, I celebrated completing my capstone project with the Antioch Los Angeles MFA class of 2018, “Emerald” cohort. This project formed the core of the manuscript which became my debut novel, Mother Mother.
Getting an MFA in creative writing had been my dream since graduating college a million years ago. My fabulous teachers and the creative, dedicated Emeralds made it come true. I miss our invigorating exchange of ideas and mostly I miss the friendships.
