Another creative writing endeavour, what do you think? Not sure where its going...?
Late night writing gets the better of me again, Not sure where i'm taking this, also i understand there is probably a lot of grammar spelling issues at the moment. There are over dramatic statements and it makes me cringe when i read it back, but hey ho. I was sat in my philosophy class on Monday talking to Tash about something deep and profound I imagine. She was recollecting a story I wasn't really hearing but I laughed anyway where I knew I should. Yawning and looking up to move away from her I caught the eye of a scruffy, hippy dippy lad sat at the other side of the room. Shaggy hair stuck to the sides of his face and he had countless chains around his neck, different symbols and jewels knocked about chest as he shifted in his seat. I held his gaze momentarily for the first time, usually just snapping my head away and feeling awkward. Needless to say I felt like even more like an uncomfortable shy girl. Why is it that the human body has evolved to have such unhelpful reactions in the most peculiar of situations? I just wanted to smile at him, prove that I have an ounce of confidence lodged deep down inside somewhere, that I am probably more interesting than a large percentage of the mindless sheep waltzing around this place. That maybe just maybe if I smiled at him he would smile back. No, all I could manage was to stare him down, attractive.I ve always been fond of the hippy type, those people still waltzing around as if they are from the 60 s, a time of revolution, of not giving a fuck, alternative living and embracing this glorious planet we are so suddenly slaughtering. I imagine that if I had lived then I would not be this person, I would be a girl that followed her desires that did what she wanted to do or what she dreamt about. I could have travelled anywhere, got on a boat with a hundred strangers and made a hundred friends by the end of the journey. I would never have to see them again, not on a computer screen, not at college the next day I could just move on with my life and be whoever I wanted to be. I would stay in a community surrounding a crumbling shack on the beach, talking to people about more important things than the weather, or the traffic, I wouldn't have to worry about being that shy girl any more, I wouldn't have to worry about people at all, who needs relationships when you are free to get up and leave at anytime of your choosing. God, can you imagine it? Being able to dance about in the ocean, staying up under the stars simply to see them, to look at them and be able to actually attempt to comprehend the amount of unimaginable chaos that exists beyond them To live simply for the sake of experience, for laughter and for happiness. Bliss Absolute Bliss Sadly my friends, this is not the 60 s this is 2012 and in this day and age everyone is acquainted but nobody knows anybody. People don t talk anymore, not really. Not about what is important, not about opinions and thoughts and feelings. People don t talk about the stars in fact I say good luck in finding someone that acknowledges their existence behind the plastic light of the human presence. People, people don t think about anything other than people, and that my delicate reader is why people will end this unforgiving planet, and the people will burn.

Will a degree in professional and creative writing teach me anything I can't learn online or in a workshop?
I'm starting my Bachelor of Arts this year, as a mature age student. I've chosen to study Film, Literary studies, Sociology, and Philosophy, however, my passion lies in literature, screen writing, and poetry. Somehow, I overlooked my university's Bachelor of Arts Professional and Creative Writing course so it's too late for this year but what are your thoughts on a course like this? Do you think it would teach me anything I couldn't get off the internet or learn from a workshop club? Does anybody here have a degree in professional and creative writing? Do you find it useful?I'm keen to learn more about film and philosophy but I'm also wondering if my course choice is the right one. I'd really appreciate your thoughts on the matter, thanks all.

My creative writing class has lead me to write a story but it involves alot of gore and is very graphic?
Well the story is about earth after thousands of years from now. It begins with a character who has no idea of her past and has no idea how she got where she is or who she is and later on she starts wondering what she is. she is what i describe as an ariel she has the ability to move any object with her mind within 20 yards which includes compacting it into tiny pieces, lifting it, moving it or completely destroying it. The beiging of the story starts with some side characters, one of them is a general who ends up battling the ariel on her own planet and ends up murdering nearly everyone and everything around him. the scientist warns the general of her capabilities and tells the general to retreat at all costs. the general refuses to retreat and attacks the girl in an attempt to capture her and learn her capabilities so that he can one day recreate her in a lab and use her as one of the most deadly weapons in the galaxy. even his biggest attempts including nuclear weaponry the girl remains unharmed despite her entire planet being completely destroyed. After the attacks she ends up being caputured after passing out from the nuclear attacks. The general takes her to earth despite the scientists greatest warnings about taking an ariel to our own planet. well to skip most of the detail she escapes the lab after seperating the limbs of all the guards of the lab on planet earth and ends up passing out again in the middle of a park. a little girl finds her and befriends her even though she has no ablity to speak, no memory, and is practicly an infant in a 13 year old girls body. The story continues with her learning more about life and her remembering her true identity, she is faced with two sides, the one to create and nurture life and what she was born or designed to do which is to destroy or corrupt life. She ends up with seperate voices in her head and throughout the story she begins battling these voices, the story is about control, belief, violience, love, and trust. so im just asking would it be ok to go crazy with the gore and details, because i dont want to hold back, what are your sugguestions?

My dream is to write creative fiction novels and have them published but I understand that it is very difficult to become a published free lance writer, hense why I also want a stable career as well. But I DO want that stable career to involve writing. Should I major in creative writing or does it not matter? I need honest opinions. I have a natural knack for writing but I definitely need a lot more skill if I have hopes of becoming published one day.Honest opinions, please.Thank you

Creative Writing Class: Genie's mind?
What would be in a genie's subconscious, besides the stereotypical lamp with smoke, hall of mirrors, cushions, arbaian influences? This is for a short story creative writing piece for class, and all I can think of are Arabian nights elements, maybe a fisherman, an ocean, and a sea creature. Anyone have any other ideas?
