I read a post about Wednesday’s class when the three creative writing teachers  spoke to us and felt compelled to write.  First, I would like to say that I do not think it was their intention to shatter the hopes and dreams of our class.  I believe they were sincerely trying to convey a realistic analogy about the hard work and low pay writers can face.  In addition, I think if you are majoring in Writing and working towards your degree, that’s good enough for now.  I think that there are many occupations and fields that embrace and welcome potential employees who have the ability to write and speak well.  So please do not sell yourselves short and by all means do not pressure yourselves into thinking you have to have ALL the ANSWERS now.  Just continue to learn, continue to explore and continue to write and you will find your way…
