On July 6, 2015, I will be beginning my graduate education online via Full Sail University. This decision came after much deliberation but I am excited to say I am taking the next step in pursuing my passion for writing. I took some time out to write this blog and answer the questions I have been getting from friends and family alike so here goes:

- I will be going for my MFA in Creative Writing with a focus in Entertainment.
More about this program:

These are just a few questions I have been asked. If you have any more, feel free to ask! It gets pretty hard to keep everyone up to date individually so I am trying the best I can. Love you all!
Sounds exciting for you and Shamus. It will put you both into the entertainment field! Good Luck!
Thank you Irene! I am super excited about it!
