I'm not sure I would be a writer today if the professor from my first creative writing class had not told me that I had "it". It really gave me the confidence to believe I was talented and to continue forward. I also credit the workshopping nature of the creative writing classes as the foundation to learn how to take and implement feedback in the work I do today, and to have thick skin!
