About Michele PW

I’ve been a writer all of my life. At 3 years old, I taught myself to read because I wanted to write stories so much. In high school, I wrote my first novel (which isn’t fit for human eyes) and won a national award for a humorous short story called “Appointment with Death.” That one I might pull out and republish one of these days. But I digress.

My freshman year in college at University of Wisconsin-Madison (go Badgers!) I took a creative writing course. My professor gave me a “C” for a grade (one of only two Cs I received during my entire college career). I couldn’t figure out why she had given me a “C” so I went and asked her. After I all, I had done all the work and attended all the classes. She told me it was because I didn’t have any talent as a writer.

Of course I was upset, but I told myself I wasn’t going to let it bother me. A year later, I decided to try again and take a different creative writing course. In order to get into the class, I had to include a sample of my work and fill out a form and tell them about the first creative writing class and the “C” I got.
