whimsychimesy asked: I feel so happy when I stumbled upon this blog! Suddenly, I don't feel so alone with all of my CW-related problems. I just wished that I discovered this 3 years ago, when I was still a Junior CW student at our university. None of my non-CW friends ever understood my trivial problems. (btw, another Filipino CW graduate here! However, I'm not practicing my craft but I know that I've still got it in me~) ;D

Welcome aboard, felling Crane! Once a creative writing student, always a creative writing student. You never stop learning, right? ;)

therambletamblecoconut asked: To the previous ask inquiring about the questioning of an English or Creative Writing major, it happens where I live too, in the US. Actually, most times when I tell someone that I'm an English Lit-Creative Writing major (at my college the CW program is hybridized), they immediately ask what I'm going to do with it because it's not really a useful major blah blah blah blah. When they hear I want to be a novel editor at a publishing company and a novelist, it gets worse...

Thanks for your imput, therambletamblecoconut! Seems people question our subject choice in more places than one. Also, we share the same dream. Dawwww. <3

parikala asked: I like to think that this will all lessen the shock of my first year as a CW student but the laughs are also a bonus XD I was wondering though, why a crane? And is it normal for relatives to ask about the existence of our course, or is it just something that happens in my country (Philippines)?

Hope we can help, parikala! I chose a crane mostly for alliteration, but also because, um… they’re pretty. xD

We do seem to have had a few fellow Cranes in the past who have mentioned questions from family members. It could be that this is a universal thing. 

Thanks for joining us, and good luck with your new course! Get in touch again!

blackstarryo asked: Sweet jesus I haven't taken any CW classes(I might take like one since I should have a controlled writing environment before my ideas turn my brain into one giant blob devoid of any sense of reality), and all these are exactly what I feel in my English class. I love this blog.

And this blog loves you! We know the feeling of mush-brain here at CWSC, and definitely recommend getting the experience of taking part in a CW class. You’ll benefit from learning not only from your tutors, but from your fellow students!

samharrisson asked: Also probably too late, but the University of Maine at Farmington has a fantastic major for Creative Writing. We even have a small publishing house on campus called Alice James Books! It's a nonprofit poetry publishing house!

Take note, prospective CW Students! This sounds amazing!

livesindreams asked: I'm not even a Creative Writing student, yet I feel your pain!

There are some pains that are universal. ;D Good to hear from you!
