I like to write, but I do not have a lot of experience as a creative writer. My overall educational goal is to make it through graduate school and go on to teach at a collage level, and I will be doing a lot of writing along the way. That said, one specific thing that I hope to learn in this class is how to write a good personal statement for a graduate school application. I think that they are supposed to be creatively written, so that seems like a goal that fits this class.
Also, I hope to be able to get something that I write in this class published, even if it is only in a BYY publication like Insight.

Andrew! this is exciting that you want to go through graduate school. Do you want to do an academic emphasis or a creative writing emphasis?
My advice about personal statements is to ask a creative writing professor you admire to see theirs. I'll email mine, but I didn't get in anywhere (yet).
Also you should take: Madden (nonfiction), tuttle (fiction) and lance larson (poetry) or kim johnson (poetry)--if you are interested in more creative writing.
I definitely think you should submit stuff to inscape. you can submit a bunch of stuff, that is the best part.
