I took my first creative writing class when I was 24, then went onto to get a graduate degree in poetry. I've sort of never looked back from there.

My first semester, I got a D in creative writing.

I've only ever taken a playwriting class, but I like creative writing and writing screenplays.

MFA in a Box is designed to help you to find the courage to put truth into words and to understand that writing is a life-and-death endeavor — but that nothing about a life-and-death endeavor keeps it from being laugh-out-loud funny.

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make.

One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
