(disclaimer, my "s" key doen't work well so put it in if it's mising.)
I thought that creative teachers are the ones who care about what you do, how you do it and will fuel you as one artist to another. These days I'm not so sure with my creative writing teacher.
I'll disclaim that she is a...poet. Whatever that means. I'm sure you can devise your own conclusions. Last week I was sick, which is a totally 'nother story. I handed in a few new short storie, some of them are actually posted in this blog. I have never really written short stories. it' wierd for me. i like novels better because you have time to plan and think about character developement and etc. I tried my best.
Just earlier last week I joined some Deviant Art groups and posted said stories which I've gotten some "favorites" or "likes" which is cool. No actual feed back. That make me sad panda.
Anyways to continue the rant. My teacher hands back most of my work. With maybe one comment on it. "Double space." or "Resubmit" I swore I was going to howl and rip her head off.
Granted I've written for most of my life I just actually started to look into this seriously. Like a small child trying something out for the first time... you want some recognition that something is going right. In this case I AM a small child. This is new terrain for me. I can suck it up but... I was hoping that in a creative arts class where now creative arts is almost foreign in all schools because of budgets, the teacher's would empower their students with critiques and comments. At least I would.
Constructive criticism where art thou... oh well guess that's what editors are for right? to rip a hole in you and then demand money.
