Don't waste your time going to college courses and bullshit to learn how to write. If you are gonna write, write. Let the creative power come from your own mind, not that of some old douche. who wants to supposedly teach you how to write. There is a potential masterpiece in us all. And you and only you can find it.

So take out your pen or pencil or pull up Microsoft Word or AppleWorks or whatever and start writting. That's what I do. I may write at least thirty pages to a story and then lose interest. That means that is not the "great one" only something that you had a brief interest in. Do this long enough and someday you'll write the masterpiece and be filthy rich. Like the lady who writes the Harry Potter books.

And personally I don't give a shit if you don't care what I have to say. I said it. It's done. My advice seems reasonable to me. If it's not to you, find your own fucking philosophy and follow it.

here is my fucking philosophy,I think college is important to learn how to write.You could choose what to use and what not to use out of what you are being taught by the college professor.

I never finish any stories I write, no matter how much I want to finish them. I always come to a road-block, in which I don't know how to continue with the storyline. Lost Innocence is a prime example of that.

All I have are Musing School flunkies. They don't help much, but they do inspire me to write some rather...interesting things...
