Winter 2024 - Let me be frank: Professor Simpson can be blunt, which can sometimes come across as her being harsh. However, it'll help you develop thick skin and comes from a seasoned writer. She definitely knows what she's doing and provides valuable feedback. You will grow as a writer as long as you turn in your weekly stories (1-4 pages long), read the assigned short story, and come ready to engage with other students. Basically, as long as you do the work, show improvement, and come ready to class, then you'll do great!
