1. What surprised you?

Nothing surprised me, as I have experience or have seen society underestimate creative writing. Not being practical enough to compete in the real world. How the Australian University saw it as chi-chi. Only people who are writers who put their soul into each piece of writing they do can teach it; not everything can be taught like a textbook.

2. What intrigued you?

The docile way of the institutionalized student, as we are molded into pink dresses, causes us to lose our sense of individuality. The coercion of writers on what is fair for society and not for themselves as writers. The rhetoric, the rhetoric to be unique, the way we can’t just wear pink dresses all the time. 

3. What disturbed you?

The fact that writing surprised me as a reader, as I mentioned, we live in a day where creative writing is looked down upon as a profession. People, society,  and educational institutions have long undervalued the profession of writing. We are coerced to write, like an AI being forced to answer the prompt given. Being a writer isn’t about writing mindlessly; it’s about putting your heart and soul or having individualism in every work that you do
