Writing Excuses Season 2 Episode 19: Do Creative Writing Classes Help
b"Brandon and Dan met during a creative writing class at Brigham Young University, and Brandon went on to get a Master's Degree in the field. Howard has no formal training in the field. This begs the question... do creative writing classes help? Are they worth the time?
\\n
\\nShort answer: Yes, but maybe not in the way you were expecting.
\\n
\\nWe discuss not only the formal education aspects of creative writing, but also the value of informal education -- attending conventions and sitting in on panel discussions about the craft.\\xa0 If you are looking to become a professional writer and are pondering your education options, this podcast is a must-hear. A must-listen-carefully, even.
\\n
\\nWriting Prompt: Fore! In this case, a golf metaphor. But not a pun.
