DO NOT DIS RUSSIAN!!!!

I don't need no stinking writting classes. If what I write ain't entirely the result of my experiences and interpretation of the writtings of others and the impact on me therein, then there ain't any point in writting.

My high school did not have creative writing. My college, however did and I took it--and dropped out. I don't have talent for writing. Most days I can barely string together letters in ways that make actual words, let alone sentances, paragraphs and stories.

On the other hand, creative writing does come in handy in my job:

Customer, frantic: I can't get to my website! I'm losing millions of dollars a day!

Me, staring in horror at the charred ruins of Customer's webserver: Did you say you were on Cable Modem? Yeah, you've probably got a Motorola box from the cable company? Creative? Oh yeah... those are the same thing in side. See, Motorola based cable modems send TCP and UDP packets in nonstandard ways, confusing the OSPF facility on Cisco routers. Sometimes, the TTL overflows the buffer and pretty soon, you're dropping ICMP all over your Gig-E. I'll send a TDMA pulse to your cable modem to resynch its 2600hz tone channels. That'll clear you right up. It'll just take an hour or two for your modem to start working again. In the meantime, your website isn't down, you just can't see it. Its strictly a problem on your end. Your customers can get to the site.

Right in one. Here is an overpriced, underquality stuffed Shivan from a knock off factory staffed by malnourished Vasudan refugee children who only earn two fishies a year in Terran run sweatshops somewhere in the vicinity of Gamma Draconis.

Right.

Anyhow, I'm sure my school has creative writing classes..... when you have a university with a student body of 10-20 thousand, you have lots of classes. ;)

Creative writing's one thing I've always wanted time to study. I haven't written anything creative in ages...

I can write, but not "creatively" for the most part. :p (the most creative thing I have written is probably this (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/procyon/story.htm) :p)The school I used to be at did have some sort of "creative writing" thing but I don't know much more about the class than the name.

No seriously, take it if you like writing, otherwise don't do it unless it means not taking a harder class.
