  • Am a human being after all …

    I think I finally figured it out, I mean it’s like I have spent thousands upon thousands of neuron cells, good ones too, prima qualité, on the issue. I just couldn’t come to it by any other means, beer, cigarettes and the like erh, forget the like. I just felt like crap and I finally…

  • American Citizen

    Me mandaban a comprar peanut butter, sabí­an, por eso lo hací­an. Y la verdad me daba cierto orgullo hacerlo, pero como todo en mi vida, fuera de Tijuana soy el más sólo del mundo, nadie más podí­a hacer las tranzas que yo me aventaba, así­ que divagaba sólo por los entonces aquellos centros comerciales. Unos…

  • Me voy a rebelar … Ya nunca más diré qué provengo del Nuevo Mundo … Le da un toqué netamente europeo a mi vida. El nuevo mundo no tiene nada de nuevo …ya estaba ahí­ mucho antes que mis otros ancestros, los euros. Y vale más qué ni me pregunten o me lo mencionen, porque…

  • My brain longs after it. It’s like wanting to be filled, to feel full again, but with what? Am I the world swallower, Galactus, from the X-men series? To an extent yes, writers do create entire worlds, don’t they? I crave it, you know? A story, I want one, it’s been a while, I need…

  • Ok, so today we nailed the last nail in the CW writing course, and the coffin is slowly going down in the history grounds. I talked to some of the other students about the success of the shop, and pretty much everyone, (about three people) were rather content, to use sophisticated language, with the outcome.…

  • Today we close our Creative Writing course. A course that promised to be exciting turned out to be very strange because we were pretty much left to our own devices, sweden is strange in that way, social contacts acquire a near pathological stress whereby contact is akin to confronting your worst fears face to face.…

  • Ok, so this was supposed to be a CREATIVE WRITING course …the following then is de rigueur: Did I come anywhere close to approach that which is creative? I think our teacher did a marvelous job in showing us the different genres out there and what is being associated with creative writing nowadays. For the…

My concern here is not whether my teacher was a good teacher or if the course delivered that which it promised to deliver. My only concern here is whether I as a…
