I got made fun of as a child by a parent for doing art and just... never did any ever afterwards. I primarily hang around artists tho and would like to relate to them more, but none of them do creative writing. I've read numerous grammar books, so that won't be a problem, but none really go in to how to construct a sentence, paragraph, page, chapter, plot, etc. I'll happily take any advice on the subject, really anything you can think for someone with actually zero experience.
Good advice I've gotten so far is to just write basically whatever. Also, people who are visual artists and creative writers, which was "easier" for you to become fluent?
Are you sure? Community colleges allow people to take as many or as few classes as they want, so taking one or two is perfectly fine. It doesn’t matter that you have a degree either, as they take everyone for any reason. You don’t have to dedicate yourself to an associates.
Almost all programs offer evening/night classes or weekend classes, along with fully virtual or zoom classes.
Plus the classes are really cheap and financial aid is very strong while simultaneously offering really good tax credits.
You should look into it if you think it’ll help your passion! Some of the best professors and classes I’ve ever had were at community colleges.
