As someone who loves to write creatively but doesn't have much formal training in it, I really enjoyed hearing your experience with professors! Sounds like a fun and rewarding time.Kayliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479774907058974300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254342249901501838.post-21527271721611647332013-09-27T11:13:51.496-07:002013-09-27T11:13:51.496-07:00Preach.... no preak.

I was focusing so much on that that my writing started to see that way to me! Sucks. But you are so right, it is my writing, messy and real and true. Screw what erryone else thinks.

But you're so right! I have a hard time revealing precious parts of myself and being messy. Wow, majoring in words is hard!Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02277056535139881326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8254342249901501838.post-19602169724760966572013-09-25T21:56:49.400-07:002013-09-25T21:56:49.400-07:00Yes, yes, a thousand times YES. Holla at yo writer...Yes, yes, a thousand times YES. Holla at yo writer gurl.<br /><br />My fiction professor two semesters ago was so hung up on cliches. Even when someone's story was actually really fab, she would "But this thing was cliche" and I'm over here like EVERYTHING IS CLICHE NOWAWDAYS. It's pretty much all been written, but the voice is what matters! UGH. I still get mad about it. She was such a bitch. She published one collection of short stories nobody had ever heard of and thought she was the shit. Nobody liked her. I've never had more fun filling out a teacher evaluation.<br /><br />ANYWAY—yes, you got it, sister.Maggie Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07581097340863800587noreply@blogger.com
