Sure, but if I'm paying a professor $200 to come talk to people who have spent years not sitting-down-and-doing-it... I'd kind of like a bit more bang for my buck. Like, "Here are three different methods for getting started" or "This is how you organize your thoughts" or "What comes first? Plot or characters? Well, this is how you deal with it when you have characters, but no idea what to do with them, and this is how you deal with plot, but you're not really sure where it's going, or your characters are boring..." Or "Writer's block? Here are ten techniques to get past it." Or that sort of thing.
Instead, just "throw words on the page, because Stephen King doesn't, and neither should you, and here's some other stuff Stephen King says to do" for about 45 minutes--- I could've saved myself $200. On the plus side, I learned a lot about academicians, and it was the last time I tried importing one for a program.
well, yes, that's certainly fair to be disappointed if you didn't get much more than that for 200 bucks.
