Troll thread, move along. I don't know what I expected from someone who's probably in the zetas, CDG, or sinaloa, considering most chicanos can't speak a lick of English and bitch and moan about our country not speaking their fucking language after they illegally emigrated here.

What have I done, /lit/? I must say, I honestly feel like posting my shit here is more valuable than this class so far. At least you people will give honest opinions and, y'know, actually fucking read.

I might post some lulz worthy shitty passages from other students here later in the semester.

Has ANYONE here actually had a good experience with fiction workshops?

Fuck E-books /lit/. I have went back to buying books.

Do you creative writers ever have a hard time being creative when it comes to writing fantasy, or just anything unrealistic, even if just for fun? I feel like such a square sometimes when attempting to make a story just for laughs because I'm so bound to realism. Does anyone know how to break outside of this box?

Corrected on the Quartet matter.

I wasn't talking to you then. I don't particularly care if you take me seriously or not.
