i wrote more in those two weeks than i had in a long time. i go to a boarding school for the arts where i have creative writing classes three hours a day, so i’m used to writing a lot. i know that if i didn’t attend the school i do though, i would have gotten so much more out of it.
would i do it again? in a heartbeat! there’s no questions to that.
the work is doable. you have three classes a day, but A LOT of free time to work and stuff.
the kids were absolutely amazing. everyone there loved to write and had a great passion for reading and writing. the people were amazing, once again.
the best thing about the program for me were the people i met and my teacher. he was amazing, and if he’s teaching again, (Nam Le) you should request him. oh and the city! iowa city is absolutely amazing! i am actually going back to iowa city to visit with my friends because i love it so much.
it’s funny you should ask this. i just got off of the phone with a friend form IYWS ten minutes ago. i met 5 of the most amazing girls i’ve ever had the privelage of knowing, and we kept in touch via blogger. we all created a blog and we post in it, and write in it and comment on each other. in fact, over christmas break we all met up in chicago and spent 5 days together. and let me tell you, i live in south carolina, on lives in seattle, another lives in NYC, one lives in Kansas city, and one lives in Maine… so it was not a small feat to all get to chicago.


i hope this helps, anymore questions, feel free to ask!
