riting classmates,
I am submitting this letter to you in lieu of a short story, which was the assignment for this week. When I enrolled in this creative-writing course, I knew to expect some criticism, but I'm still a little shaken up about what happened last time we met. I think there's a lot to clear up regarding the overwhelmingly negative feedback I received for my short story "Creative-Writing Beatdown," about a guy who beats up the other students in his creative-writing class after they are overly critical of his work.
First off, a lot of you said that you felt uncomfortable reading "Creative-Writing Beatdown," because it was, in your words, "clearly autobiographical." This could not be further from the truth. Yes, the main character and I have the same name, and, yes, both he and I are in a creative-writing class, and, YES, we both have received some very harsh criticism from our creative-writing classmates. But that's where the parallels end. "Creative-Writing Beatdown" is purely a work of fiction, and not at all based on the events of my life. It is a simple redemption tale, featuring a classic anti-hero.
