"Creative Writing was not a form of psychotherapy, in ways both sublime and ridiculuous, it clearly was, precisely that."

When I applied to Stanford, I applied for graduate work in the PhD program, not to the creative writing program, mostly because though I had some vague ambition of becoming a writer and I was trying to write poems and essays and stories, I didn't feel like I was far enough along to submit work to some place and have it judged.
