Nobody ever learned to write in college. I'll never be a Faulkner or
Hemingway due to my lack of talent- not my lack of education.

Chuck,

My comment was meant to be a compliment, and the joke concerning college and
Hemingway was a joke (obviously a poor one). I would disagree that creative
writing classes do not contribute to ones skill, but that is always up to
debate. The thing that amazed me about you being a high school drop out, is
obviously you are well educated, and your writing abilities are as good as
I have seen in any magazine. I have always thought someone dropped out of
high school because they were not successful in high school, in your case it
is not true.
