English buddies!
not trying to talk down on myself but i really have no idea how i managed to get an english degree of all degrees. i really know nothing about books or much literature. I only did it cuz i loved to write papers -

professional writing. but alot of the course still required literature classes and i took creative writing as an elective. im gonna be honest i hated it lol. we did a workshop where the students and the teacher critiqued your work and you were allowed to say anything and just sit there

Did you ever have to take journalism classes? I did, and basically we had to go and cover city council meetings, and talk with local officials. Those dudes were so full of ****. I don't even know how anyone could stand to put up with that job every day.

yes we took journalism. I worked for the college newspaper too. but the journalism class we took was an intro one and i dont think it required doing that. I think i made up a person to interview and wrote something based off what my make beleive person said just for the grade

alot of them were. I had a story where only the teacher seemed to love it which i guess all that matters?lol. he even used it as an example on the board for lecture and apparently i used a format or whatever used in writing but it was completely unintentional on my part lol
its like there's a beginning scene, then the climax happens in another scene, then the ending scene goes back to where the original scene was. not sure what thats called.
i used my mom as the main character. when ppl were critiqing it they were like "this person just sounds like a terrible mother." and i just sat there like "

yes, because high status people know that the way to make a coddled person's mind grow is to break it to some degree. but it gets exponentially more difficult as a person gets older.
I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.
