What I hope to get out of this course is a better understanding of writing in general and who I am as a writer. I also hope to be able to get more practice writing creative fiction and stories and learning about the exploits of past writers who've been in my position. I hope to get the experience I need to be successful as a writer once I get out of college and to convey to readers all the cool ideas I've been spinning in my head since childhood but with through the hand of a mature young man.
