That’s how I was feeling during my creative writing class. We study “contemporary writers” (aka: guys who teach creative writing at a university and whore their books to other creative writing teachers who claim the book is “brilliant”) and have to buy their books, even though they’re probably going to go back to the school store or sold online after the course is over. They also shun writing “commercial” fiction (aka: stuff that makes money). No one ever mentions that Mark Twain and Charles Dickens wrote for the sole purpose of entertainment and money.

I’m cynical about writer’s workshops. I did go to a class once, and the teacher said she was six years into writing her novel. Six years!!! And she’s teaching the class… Six years!!! This better be some magnum opus work of art. Six years!!!

I’ll probably go to a workshop one day, but I’ll be cynical then too. If I read something and the teacher blasts me for structure, character, dialogue…I’ll probably tell her I thought her book sucks too.

LOL. Writing about writing. Has to be boring to write and even more boring to read.

Writer’s workshop? As a white person…I am intrigued! I may attend, write about it, turn it into a movie and then retire to Maine! SWPL is my new life planner!

Sorry, that’s how I get through life. At work, in school and with other people. More of a Californian thing, if I wasn’t in the state of Cal. I wouldn’t be required to, then I’m one of those autistic nerds or something tries to get by in life. I’m a product of my own environment, middle-class people get down on their luck and have to face reality. I share this guy’s sarcastic sense of humor on how he perceives the world through a “white man’s” comical point of view. +

See autism boy, I can dig up alot more on your dumb ass if you continue with this race shit that you started.

Test me bitch.

YOINK!

I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????

I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE who seem to WASTE their money on writer’s workshops.

Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)
