At BFTA I was able to have a secluded, creative, and enjoyable experience to write and read. Working and handling life's priorities while trying to create can become very taxing. In the free time I may have creating might not always be at the front of my brain. At BFTA I didn't have to think about anything else but creating. The atmosphere was inviting, silent, and quite positive. The program manager was incredibly kind and accommodating. Having places like BFTA is essential to the creative process and development. Especially for people who may not have the financial resources to get away and solely focus on the their art. I thank the entire BFTA for their support and dedication to artists.
