Welcome to our Creative Writing program.
Please take a seat and relax while I give you your assignment.
The Assignment:
1. You are going to write a book.
(Ok you say to yourself, a book no problem what kind of a book?)
2. It is going to be a love story.
(Now you start thinking…a love story? Who will I market?)
3. This book has got to appeal to every generation from all cultures and translate into hundreds of different languages.
(Now you start thinking about dropping the class, realizing that you are in over your head.)
4. Before I forget, this book has got to remain the world’s best seller.
(O.K. I’m out of here…A book? Love story… That has got to appeal to people from all cultures transcending multiple generations? While remaining a best seller? Who could write such a thing?)
Oh my! I think THAT Book has been written already!
And it has yet to be beaten!
