Advising Creatively for Creativity
“The next year, he decided to take
his degree in General Studies rather
that English so he could avoid
foreign language requirements.
“Although Ray wrote some “superb”
papers for his literature classes, he asked
[Richard Cortez] Day at the end of one
course, “How would you feel if I didn't
turn the paper in?”
“In reply, Day asked his student
how he'd feel about a C.”
“Ray replied, “Fine.”
“Because he was working on a story.
“So, like anybody with any sense,
Ray chose the story.
And took the C.”

Raymond Carver: A Writer's Life
and reformatted to fit my screed.) .
