[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would have to be extremely disconnected to yourself to have erred so far and so deeply. These are not compatible but for the very rarest niche. [/quote] There are a lot of lawyers who are writers, and writers with law degrees. Tons actually. I am one of them. Many of us chose law because we thought it would be more practical than trying to write full time - but one way or another ended up writing full time (or part time) anyway. Some are really successful fiction writers - a classmate of mine from CLS had a huge hit novel that got optioned by Anne Hathaway to make into a movie - while some others of us (again, me) are less successful fiction writers but turn to journalism and other types of writing to earn a living. There is plenty of overlap in interests and skills, between people going to law school and people getting MFAs. [/quote] You do not need a MFA to become a writer. The overlap you speak of is very slim.[/quote]
