Starting over
January 25, 2007
I’m already a big fan of the private college. It makes me realize how uncomfortable I was with living on or near a university campus. No wonder I hated studying so much; I never really got away from school.
Or maybe it’s just nice having classes in an atmosphere where eight girls of different ages sit around a long wooden table and talk about writing with an incredibly smart and beautiful professor, who prints us pages of addresses to send our work to and brings her giant puppy to class to run around through our legs while we laugh like we’ve had that class for five semesters.
And then it’s nice to come home and do homework while watching True Hollywood Story: Home Improvement and not have to hear about school again until the next morning.
I was told last night that I have a similar writing style to Chuck Palahniuk. I was kind of leaning more towards the genre of M. Night Shyamalan, but either way, my short stories must be slightly demented. I’m going to order Haunted and watch Fight Club. Anyone have an opinion of these?

Ah, a writer! I am a writer as well. Both of those writers aren’t bad to be compared to. And it’s not a bad thing to have slightly demented stories. Mine are quite demented. My creative writing teacher loves them, though, which is good, since he’s the only one that has taken time to read them fully.
I did see the end of Fight Club, which was pretty stupid, but I didn’t see it from the beginning. I haven’t heard of Haunted, though I think I’ll follow that link. Wikipedia is the best, no?

I read Invisible Monsters and it was one of the most disturbing books I’ve ever read O.o

(apologies for commenting on an old post)
I’d suggest reading something other than Haunted…have you read Lullaby yet?

Hmmm, nope, but thanks for the advice. I’ll check that one out.

FIGHTCLUB, but only because of the psychology kick at the end.

Fight Club is good.
It’s nice to hear you enjoying learning, as opposed to studying.
It’s good. :)
And it feels good to understand what it’s like.
