Knighty HATES him! Honolulu-area baker reveals how to improve your writing with 3 simple rules! · 3:01am Aug 6th, 2015
I’ve seen it a few times, and you probably have too: people will say stuff along the lines of “I bet this person took a community college course in creative writing and now they think they're so great.” It’s a very resonant insult for classists like me. Besides, it’s rooted in fact: the level of literacy needed to pass community college courses in this town is miserably low.
And then I took a community college course in creative writing, and learned things that have guided my writing ever since. When you think about it, it’s more than a little arrogant for me to act like that’s supposed to be surprising. I became a better writer by taking a class about creative writing; imagine that!
My next few blog posts will be dedicated to sharing the handful of succinct, valuable, lasting lessons that I have been putting into practice since taking this class. If you read them all, it’ll be like getting a 400-odd dollar value for free! In fact, I’d love to actually private-tutor people in this stuff. I will legit put together a lesson plan with assignments and everything for you.
Hell, who am I kidding? I’ve written a single digit number of shitfics in the last two years and half my followers have probably left the fandom.
On that note--well, eh, I suppose I might as well write up the first lesson as its own post. Stay tuned!
