How can I keep writing/moving forward as a writer once Im out of a graduate program?
This is a really important question and how you answer it just may determine if you do end up with that dream teaching job someday. Its so important for writers to keep reading, to find another kind of community (with others or even with yourself: some way to reinforce the importance of the work of writing, to buoy yourself up when things are hard), to pursue professional contacts, to find those other things (interests/hobbies) that help propel your art, to be as voracious a reader (or more so) than you were as a student.
