Creative Writing: The Craft of Plot

Okay boss, here's the thing.
I intentionally keep away from reviews, simply coz dude! Someone's doin something, why rip it down with your own negativity, someone somewhere is benefiting, let them!

But here's why I am annoyed, see I am a story person, have always been nuts about what happened, happening and what will happen!

People, emotions, decisions you know the drill. Basically as sappy a person as one could get.
Started the course, Creative Writing. Notice the word "started".
Not a new courserian either, have taken courses before. Finished some, left others.
When you say Creative. Honey, creative relates to creation, by definition it also leads to something that didn't exist in the "created" form before the creation.

YET, the start of a course. Boss, the first few minutes is the hook line and frickin Sinker!
This is supposed to be different, not A TEXTBOOK COURSE dripping with useless terminologies, yawn inducing examples and the quoting of people who nobody recognizes. You've got roughly two minutes (and that's thankfully not print media, where a few lines decide your creation's fate) and you're not pulling in the legends? Bernard Shaw for example, numerous gems he has. Bring in Humour. THE NUMBER ONE SELLER. followed by tragedy (know why? ASK, or atleast mention! uff)

Understand your audience FIRST.
The majority:
They're folks who've maybe read a bit, want to get into producing content and probably feel themselves better than the current crop of word-peddlers, looking for something "different" to do this week. Lots of twenty-somethings who want to " try" everything.

The close minority:
Feel like writing *was always* their vocation, want to get into this world after a less than satisfying career, can't afford(time or resources) to take regular community college. Again, attention span better than a goldfish(read: The Majority) but don't hold your breath for a damned miracle.

Here's the thing, incentive for starting "creative writing" course is good, more people are frustrated with what they do than the Happy AF ones. BUT, here's where a smart instructor would realize, that the stickiness factor is not there. For tech or career related courses, boss, the financial and status incentives are often enough for people to "get through" the course.
Your audience is less forgiving, my friend. I'd love to help, but can't keep writing for free. This goldfish is out, and wishes you the best!
