So for over a month and a half I’ve been told in my Creative writing MA class that my writing is too poetic and abstract to work in the form of a novel and that I need to simplify my meanings and sentences. I did as I was told and lost all interest in writing if I have to write in the same style that every other novelist does. Today I received this note from a classmate and didn’t realise how much I needed to hear it. Don’t change your art just because other people don’t get it. Don’t change your style to fit in with everyone else. It’s your story not theirs.
This post is 4 years old, but for anyone who needs to hear it I want to tack on the advice my Creative Writing professor told the class I was in: "Not everyone is going to get what you're trying to do. So a lot of the advice your classmates write on your papers might feel Wrong to you. If it feels Wrong and you don't think they understand your story, don't take their advice because they are not your audience."
Sounds like the initial advice for OP to tone down her natural voice was incorrect, but thankfully one of her classmates that was part of the audience wants to hear that voice.
ALTSometimes you are tired to the core, and it takes a lot of rest and recovery that maybe you don’t have time for right now. Keep going friend, and let’s find the time to rest and decompress as soon as we can!

Taken in Iceland. One of the most unique landscape photos I’ve ever seen.
I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida.
Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!
Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.
as a camera shy person myself, knowing she hides behind plushies is just amazing
Her and Yoko Taro are legends at hiding from cameras. xD
A man goes to see his Rabbi in a panic, and he gets there and he says, “Rabbi you’ll never guess what! My son has run away to become a Christian!” And the Rabbi responds, “Well you’ll never guess what! My son has also run away to become a Christian!” So the man asks the Rabbi what to do and the Rabbi says that they should pray to G-d. So they pray and tell him of their plight and G-d replies, “You’ll never guess what!”
- An old Hasidic joke that my Dad likes to tell me
An old Jewish lady ducks into a church one night during a sudden rain shower. The priest comes in while she’s waiting out the rain and says, “you can’t be here, we don’t allow your kind in here.”
So the lady stands up and grabs the baby jesus statue from their nativity scene and says, “come along bubbala, you heard the man, we aren’t allowed in here”
-my grandmother’s favorite joke
A rabbi goes to see his friend the bishop. “Listen,” he says, “there’s something I’ve never quite understood about the Catholic church. it’s hierarchical, right?”
“Right,” says the bishop.
“So,” says the rabbi, “if you do a really great job as a bishop, you might become…what?”
“Well,” says the bishop, “if I’m fortunate, I might become an archbishop.”
“And if you do a really great job as an archbishop?”
“I suppose, someday, I could even be a cardinal.”
“And if you do a really great job as a cardinal?”
“I guess after that I could, theoretically, become the Pope.”
“And if you do a really great job as the Pope?”
“What would you expect me to become after the Pope?” says the bishop, who’s starting to get a little annoyed. “God Himself?”
The rabbi shrugs. “Well,” he says “one of our boys made it.”
I know another one.
One night at a nunnery the nuns are woken by loud singing and drunken revelry. They look and see its some Jews celebrating one thing or another just outside.
“You can’t be here!” The nuns say angrily. “This is disrespectful, don’t you know we are the brides of Christ?”
“oh, then that’s no issue, we’re from the groom’s side!”
two jewish men are stranded on an island for several years. when they’re finally rescued, the rescuers notice they’ve built several structures, including three synagogues. they ask them men why three? they shrug and say “that’s the one i go to, that’s the one he goes to, and that’s the one neither of us would be caught dead in!”
a jewish family moves to a new town and struggles to find a school to send their daughter to. the public school is not very good but the only private school is a catholic one. they decide to risk it and send her there. she comes home the first day and tells her dad over dinner “today i learned there’s three gods: the father, the son, and the holy spirit.” the father slams his fist down on the table and shouts “there’s ONE god and we don’t believe in him!”
not really a joke but i think it’s funny: isaac goes to shul to talk to god, i go to shul to talk to isaac.
