It’s been a decade since I decided to apply to MFA programs and quit my job to reorient my life around writing. I was 28 going on 29 when I submitted my applications. Now, I’m 38 going on 39 with my memoir newly in the world.

@ambernoelle I’m a millennial who graduated during the Great Recession. but I went to school on scholarship and not having student loan debt made my broke years possible. A lot of folks then (and now) were drowning in student loans on top of there being no jobs and the cost of living rising.
