About Burn Poetry
Welcome to Burnpoetry. My name is Chris and I’m an aspiring writer from the Midwest. After my staggeringly low G.P.A. got me booted from the esteemed Daily Nebraskan at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln I was looking for a creative outlet. Blogs seem to be the new medium for sharing one’s thoughts with the world, or the 20 people that might read this, and so here I am.
Burnpoetry is a term that I use to describe my style of writing. Infusing humor, irreverence, and writing that earned me a hot C+ average in my English classes, Burnpoetry will give me a chance to write about whatever I want without some smug, birkenstock-wearing hipster telling me to make my style more politically correct.
The focus of the blog will be my passions all rolled into one: Comedy, sports, pop culture, and making fun of anything I can get my hands on.
Sometimes one or two of those “smug, birkenstock-wearing hipsters” know a lot more than you do – and you might be wise to listen and consider what they have to offer. Or not.
A wise point, Madhat. I’m not knocking all those who wear non-lace up shoes, just the people who decide to flaunt them on their way to a “Shins” concert.
One thing to keep in mind…those professors who are good enough to make a living writing don’t need to teach.
The second thing to keep in mind…a professor cannot make you more talented. You have it or you don’t. What a prof can do is teach you how to dot the I and cross the T properly. It looks like you might already know how to do that. http://katiepickardfawcett.wordpress.com/
I’m definitely still learning, but thank you very much for the encouraging words.
Grades are fairly subjective. I never got a C in an English class, but I’m sure you write better than me
