>Title: An Essay in X

>the main character is a cynical bookworm girl in her late teens dealing with rape trauma

I posted it a few times before, but my experience
>Took creative writing for fun, because hey I like writing and the uni has an english requirement
>Professor is an aging hippy, the "all writers are good in their own special way" type
>Only references literally-who female authors and assigns their readings
>Oh boy
Class consisted of:
>three indistinct basic bitches who write about the time they had underage sex and what an empowering moment that is
>one dago fuckboi who wrote about the same thing
>tolkien fanboy who only writes high-fantasy, regardless of structure
>barely literate redneck who actually wrote pretty well because he didn't try for any specific style
>a /pol/tard white-power-lifter who wrote about killing people, the time he kicked some drunk's teeth in at the beach, how Wyoming is so great because it is a libertarian paradise
>refugee who didn't really understand english
>a black woman who wrote really edgy shit and always read them allowed; "'My mother is such a cunt' the nigger said as he shot up heroin" was an actual starting line
>and me
The class actually turned me off from writing for three years and the professor would never provide criticism but would also never grade well.
