i genuinely do not think this was my professor’s intent but unfortunately by structuring my advanced creative writing class to be 99% quiet work time and 1% check-in where you go around and say like 1 sentence about how your writing progress is going this week they seem to have landed upon the exact combination of factors to make me feel both wildly isolated from the other writers in my class despite the fact that the main reason i wanted to take the course was to have a community of writers around me to talk to and also to make me have a semester-long imposter syndrome breakdown about how my book is awful and none of the revisions are working and no one will ever want to read or critique it

#i'm aware complaining about a class i am incredibly lucky to take makes me sound like a huge whiny brat #but also GOD at this point i would give ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING #to just hand someone a chapter from my book and be like 'here. read this. please tell me if the revisions i did made it suck more or less.'#i cannot exist in a completely isolated and self-sufficient writing environment! i need criticism! i need praise!#i need to talk about the characters from my manuscript and have someone understand what the fuck i'm talking about!!!!!#pie says stuff #my writing #my life #pie goes to college #i feel like i'm going completely insane while everyone else in my class is peacefully typing away which just makes me feel WORSE
