Sometimes, you just gotta pay.

I've paid to take a few writing courses.

Hmm, let's see. I took a class with Chuck Palahniuk. He even gave me a signed, leather-bound edition of Fight Club. An amazing class, I learned sooo much. Too much to even get into here. And for such a famous writer he was really accessible and ready to talk and answer questions.

I took a class on writing violence with splatter punk pioneer John Skip.

I took a class on Bizarro with publisher and award winning novelist J Osborne.

Several novel writing classes with acclaimed authors such as Sherri Goldberg, Mark Spencer, and Emily Schultz.

Oh yeah, then there was that Bachelor's in English Literature from the Univeristy of Oregon where I was in a creative writing fellowship with award winning novelist Chang Rae Lee.

Christ, a lot of money, but fuck it, maybe one day it will all pay off. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
