How did you assume that I do any creative writing? Is it taken for
granted that everyone on Bananafish writes? I just found that remark to
be somewhat startling, since I don't think I've ever mentioned anything
about whether or not I write.
By the way, what do you Bananafish people think about creative writing
classes? I took one for about two weeks at Berkeley. It was led by a
distinguished writer, but I found the class to be a waste of time. I
infinitely preferred a class that I'd taken a couple years back, which
was led by a less acclaimed author. Maybe I was just less inhibited
then.
