If it's meant to be written you'll come back to it later with new feelings and perceptions after distracting yourself with other work. If ideas for the divorce story pop into your head while you are doing/writing other things, just jot them in your journal and let them simmer on the back burner (another way of saying marinate/percolate). If, over time, you find you have several of that sort of entry, then maybe you'll feel less angst about proceeding with the story. Just a thought.Joanne Carnevalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773494642346624996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23771210.post-42733292368114552272009-08-24T13:56:34.796-04:002009-08-24T13:56:34.796-04:00Hannah,

While in graduate school I came close to giving up again. My in-laws wouldn't let me quit. They were right. <br /><br />I don't know how important an MFA is or isn't but aren't you half way through? Might as well stick it out and take whatever you can out of it.<br /><br />I found it interesting your struggle with writing about your folks divorce. Just the kind of thing I would write about. Each writer thought is different as to what interests them and motivates them. Write what you enjoy writing.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16362527662792042143noreply@blogger.com
