Fiction Writing 101: No Talent Necessary!

In college, I majored in Creative Writing, mainly because I thought that eating was for the weak.  In my fiction-writing courses, however, I found myself confused and upset to discover that the majority of my classmates neither read nor had the ability to write a coherent story if it would save their life.  Most days I spent working with these people were filled with frustration.  And idiots, for which I have a low tolerance.

 

I often felt as though my instructer were the only other person in the room as full of disappointment and sorrow as I was.
