Dubious Nature of Workshop, Insipid, Banal Insights, Long Standing Joke of Richard Rorty’s Notion of Knowledge as Consensus, and an Unyielding Urge to Find Something Critical to Speak of in a Story, a Tanka.

So, like, if you wrote

A story about Santa,

People in workshop

Would say things like: “I just don’t

Believe that a sleigh can fly.”

no - but i recently workshopped a portion of the lake me thing i have been working on - and some people (including the prof, who will remain nameless) - not all - were more concerned with the details - the verisimilitude - in a tale that is blatantly absurdist.

which led me to find this: http://www.afterthemfa.com/archives/seven-things-i-learned-in-a-creative-writing-mfa-program.html
