Wow!!!!!!!!
I love Creative Writing! No more words "the discursive trajectory of the pantopticon subjective using Marxist notions of value." Academic writing be gone!
For one, the professor (the published author Helena Viramontes) is exceptional. She really brings out your best, or at least the will to do your best.
She has also exposed me to two fantastic books: Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott (which is about how to write) and Lynda Barry's One Hundred Demons, which is so funnyslashpainfulslashbrilliant that you can't put the book down. I have learned that writing is about telling the truth. Explaining understanding as you see it.
Anyway. Got a short story in the works. 21 pages so far. About the effects of using people and being used: Hello Mr. Ouchie.
