Last night, SFU held a graduation ceremony for their Continuing Studies Writing and Publishing Program. It was a quiet affair, but at the end of it all, I walked away with a little piece of paper that says I'm a writer. Not quite as dramatic as being baptized with mineral water (as I was in one of my classes), but still, I'm rather proud of completing The Writer's Studio. I learned quite a bit from the program, and would recommend it to anyone interested in both a concentrated study of creative writing as well as finding the local literary community. Congratulations to my fellow grads.
