A Master's in Creative Writing: Is It Worth It? 

You're too sweet! I'm so sorry it's taken me a year to reply--cause goodness, what a year 2020 was. :) I'm glad that this helped you! Best of luck on all your endeavors!

Hahahaha a BIG MOOD

so true, but my parents would support me as long as I work hard, but I need a backup plan in case

Greek mums too

@@iibatwomanii5182 εγώ ακόμα δεν είπα στην μαμά μου ότι θέλω να εγκαταλείψω το μεταπτυχιακό που κάνω τώρα και να ασχοληθώ με την δημιουργική γραφή

@@krispi1481 εγώ δουλεύω και παράλληλα πληρώνω μαθήματα. Τους έχω πει ότι σπουδάζω κάτι άσχετο. Αλλά σκέφτομαι πολύ σοβαρά μια μέρα απλώς να φύγω και να σπουδάσω εξωτερικό αυτό που θέλω. Τι θα κάνουν; Θα έρθουν μαζί;

Hi! I think the merit of an MFA really comes from the openness to critique by experts and your peers who are equally as serious about literature and creative writing. You can use the internet as a supplement or tool but I dont think it can necessarily substitute for everything an MFA has to offer.

Best of luck!

I'm so glad that you found this helpful!!!! :) Good luck with your MFA application!

Thank you so much! :) Glad you enjoyed it!

Good to be back! :D

I absolutely agree!

Thank you, Louis! :)

Thanks Katie! :)

Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "jobs you can get with a creative writing degree" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Jeyeyton Riyria Process - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my work buddy got amazing success with it.

Hey, did you apply this year!

Jade Beth J Hey! I actually didn’t apply. So many things, good things came up. I’m still deciding on when would be a good time. Did you apply last year?

I'm so sorry for replying to this mega-late! I don't know of any low-residency grad programs in the Philippines, but there are some learning workshops that offer around a month of schooling, with a certification afterward. I hope this helped! :) Best of luck with everything!

Thank you for watching! I hope everything turned out alright. :)

Exam? Lol that sure isn't going to help your writing

It`s absolutely possible! One of the most famous writers from "the Canon" is Joseph Conrad, and he didn`t become fluent in English until he was in his 20s.

@@lindsaymorrison7519 Thanks for your reply. Yeah I know about Conrad;but the thing is that for the time being I don't have the opportunity to communicate with many native speakers or any other English writers (at least until I can enter a university in an English speaking country to study creative writing;) And that is why I can't compare myself to great writers like Conrad too seriously. Not having even one permanent reader to comment on my work is what truely worries me and makes me wonder if am I even talented enough.

Do not doubt yourself, your story must be good. Write the way you want as long as you know what you are doing.

@@44238336 Thanks for the encouraging words.

Hahahhaha you're young at heart! :) Thank you. I know I'm lucky deffo but to be honest the university is pretty generous with grants and things for MFA. :D

Also, I forgot to add ... your discussions are just fine without editing.

Hi! I did my undergrad in Psychology. :)

Hi! I'll make a separate video about this :) So many points to address.

What if you just need any Bachelor's so you can be a teacher, and so it might as well be in something where you'll get constructive feedback on your passion projects? (I am genuinely asking your opinion; I've never gone for a Bachelor's yet). What if the other majors just seem really irrelevant to anything that gives you meaning.

Thanks for watching!

You’re welcome!

yes it is! I'd say it's definitely something worth developing and looking into. :)

YESSS Day6 forever! Can't wait for the comeback this April :)

Hi! :) Yes they do! My last term of coursework was completely online.

Glad it was helpful! :) Thank you so much for watching!

@@WinaPuangco I wanna ask lang po (˃̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣ ) Okay lang naman po, 'di ba, mag-take ng undergrad course, something related sa Creative Writing preferrably, kahit STEM po 'yung strand? A big thanks po!

@@otmjk4061 Hi! Yes, you'll just have to take additional units sa masters if hindi lit/creative writing yung under grad. :)

@@WinaPuangco Thank you so much po!!! Wala po kasi ako mapagtanungan datiㅠㅠ

hehehe go for the gold!!! 💞💕 no harm in setting future plans :) goodluck with ur studies!!!

Nope. Your Masters has to be related to the PhD field you’re studying but you can take a Masters that’s unrelated to your undergrad.

You’re so sweet! Thank you for watching :)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA does that make me conceited
