"The earth is degenerating these days. Bribery and corruption abound. Children no longer mind their parents. Every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is fast approaching."
Sound familiar?

I wish some FReepers could get together for a collaborative sci fi effort.
I have plenty of detailed ideas in my head but don’t have the skill to put it down in words.

First you need to be a loud mouthed liberal douche bag if you want to make it as a writer. :)

Reminds me of Robert Mitchum’s quote: “Taking acting lessons is like practicing to be tall.”

I think Stephen King had it right when he said that in order to be a good writer, you had to spend at least six hours every day either reading or writing.
I read or write at least three hours a day and I'm a halfway decent writer.

If this is the U of Iowa it’s going to teach you how to write tiny slice-of-life minimal-action wandering plotless stories.
Maybe with lots of graphic sex.
I don’t think it would do much good for writers who want to explore the complexities of action writing. Which ain’t that easy.
