In my MFA program we not only had to read each other's work every week and turn in something new, we also had 30 credits of lit classes for the degree, so in one semester, during one week on that side of the program, I had to read two Iris Munich novels, The Ambassadors, and Wuthering Heights in three other classes.

When I get a good one, I type in the air over my keyboard with the appropriate amount of drama while dictating just what I would say and laughing at my own jokes. Once I've squeezed enough of it out of my system to be nice, my fingers come down and I find myself producing an acceptable and hopefully useful and compassionate reply.
