i've told this story on ontd before, but what the hell, i'm nothing if not repetitive: i took an advanced creativing writing workshop in college, and on the first day of class, the professor came in and asked, "so when do we write?" (as in, at what moments in one's life would someone write something?) and this one kid said very pompously, "we write in the now." the look on the teacher's face was priceless. she was all, "er...yeah, thanks, but that's not exactly what i was going for."
