Mark, read Anna's last two posts again. Now that she's pursuing an MFA, people who dismissed her out of hand before are treating her with respect. That's what Janet and I are responding to. Obviously Anna was talented before she enrolled, and she's even pointed out that her writing style hasn't changed much since then, so why did they laugh in her face the first time she asked to give a reading?
