If you need help with your writing, go the WRITING CENTER in SO 142 (if your former Eng. teachers aren’t available).
Welcome to class. I will try not to call you Tamale again. “Try” being the key word there.
I am the man you need to talk to if you want to get into creative writing, and I am happy to have a student that is excited to write.
