To my Creative Writing class.
Three questions.
a) Why are you all writing about mental illness?
b) Why are the vast majority of you getting it so so WRONG?
c) Have you people considered researching these topics before you write about them? Pretty pretty please? I mean, these resources exist. Trust me. Just go to the library. Hell, go to Google.
I really want to post a "Mental Illness: How To Do It RIGHT" kind of rant sometime soon, because if I have to read one more wangsty suicidal teen or one more horribly-done psychotic viewpoint character, I'm going to put my FOOT in someone's FACE.
I get touchy about this stuff.
