>never uses quotation marks If I did this, my creative writing

When you have multiple bestsellers It doesn't really matter what creative writing lecturers think of you.

Then your creative writing lecturer is a fucking idiot for recognising stylistic decisions.

>I must follow "rules" or I will be derided

This is why you will never do anything of note.

Any mangling of grammar or punctuation is pretentious hipster shit. I'm not even a prescriptivist, but you aren't fucking impressing anyone by foregoing the basic rules of laying text on a page.

Dropped.

if there is evidence of technical proficiency, then you need to look for other explanations. such as, the effect the break in grammar has on the writing

That degree is still worthless no matter where you goooo

>>9260465
That's a big step up from 'worthless degree for which you'll always be in debt'.

Also, is it even true? Do employers who don't ask for a specific degree subject turn their noses up at creative writing? Personally I would be intrigued (partly because creative writing degrees are pretty rare), but maybe wary.

Most creative writers are just self-absorbed talentless dilettantes and they probably have some dime-a-dozen message they shove in everything.

>>9260559
Even if true, does that mean they'll necessarily be worse than other degree holders at marketing/admin/whatever else the job is, though?

Maybe if he did, he'd be a well known author and not an obscure creative writing lecturer.
