Edmund Kean, a Shakespearean actor, is alleged to have said “Dying is easy, comedy is hard.” For me, comedy is easy, literary is hard.

In less than two weeks, the MFA begins. Growth can be scary sometimes. Yet, getting out of the comfort zone allows new ideas to flow. At the end of the day, creativity does not exist in a vacuum. So, time to go back to school.
Comedy is easy, literary is hard. Maybe in a year I’ll be able to say both are easy? Or at least easier?
