I “studied” creative writing in college. This means that most of my time was spent reading short stories and writing even shorter stories and reading other peoples’ short stories and then being really mean to them in workshop, saying things like, “I don’t believe this. I’m not buying it. I…

Technically, it wasn’t the greatest, so most of the criticism I received was apt, but one piece of criticism that pissed me off was an attack of the main subject of my scene: a teacher/student relationship. Yes, it’s awkward. But THAT WAS THE POINT. Teacher/student relationships do happen. People write about them. I was just writing about a subject that I found interesting. And yes, life’s boring. I didn’t want to write another boring story about two similar people meeting and falling in love. I wanted danger. And just because I wrote on this subject does not mean I approve of it. SO THERE you naysayers—- I liked (and continue to like) my subject matter. 

I’d be interested in reading that actually.
