#writerscoffeeclub Mar 17: Have you taken high school or college courses in Creative Writing? Were the classes useful?
I tried my university Creative Writing class, offered by a prof who'd had a book picked up from Random House, I believe. He read my sample stuff—queer and spec-fic, to be clear—and wrote "Trite" and "Common" and didn't accept me into the class. Was soul-crushing. Didn't write for ages.
Anyway, he still has that one book. My sixth small-but-trad-pub novel releases next month.
