I took a lot of writing courses.

I took an MA course in creative writing a couple of years back, and I was definitely in the bottom of the class.

Well, my background is journalism. I don't have any creative-writing experience except for one class I took as a sophomore in college.

I went to college, though I didn't take many writing courses.

I went to school for creative writing in college, and I wound up about six hours short of my degree.

I took a writing class in college, liked it, and my first year out of school I couldn't get a job, so I wrote a play.

I took my first creative writing class when I was 24, then went onto to get a graduate degree in poetry. I've sort of never looked back from there.

I studied writing at NYU. I graduated high school in Nashville and then went to the creative writing program, and in the first year, that's when I wrote 'Kids.'
