Hey guys. I'm aware that a lot of you do Creative Writing or some other form of English degree at university, and I'd be interested to learn thoughts of it. I might like to do it, but I'm not really sure about what is involved. If you could answer these questions, I'd very much appreciate it:
1) What do you do? I mean, are you just given a topic and you have to write a story about it?
2) How much literature analysis do you have to do?
3) How much of the course is exam-based?
4) What do the exams entail? (Timed writing, comprehension, etc?)
5) What course of Creative Writing would you recommend?
6) With the exception of novelist/publisher/editor, of course, what types of jobs would be best suited to this degree?
7) Is a large portion of the time spent learning terms words that relate to creative writing (viewpoint, main character etc)?
What A-levels are required?
As you might have guessed, I'm a complete newb to university stuff. And I believe there are different courses in creative writing? Anyway, thanks for your help.
