Comment:
I was in Mr. Lockwood's Creative Writing class in 1994 or 1995. The reason I took the class is because I wanted to be a writer. Mr. Lockwood is very professional. He wanted the class to keep a journal. The journal is like a writing exercise. Also, the class read former student's poems. And we read published short stories. Mr. Lockwood is helpful.

Walter is one of finest writing teachers I had. Since he did publish a wonderful novel that HBO made a great movie of (which he wrote the teleplay for among others),very few can match his talent as a teacher in the field of writing.

Great teacher! He was very encouraging and clearly enjoys teaching. Throughout the semester he scheduled individual project review meetings with all the students - this was a huge help and I wish more EN profs were that interested in helping their students to improve as writers, not just get through the class.

I took him in 1989 and he played favorites then too. I was one of the favorites but really none of his courses are about improving your writing so much as finding out IF you Are a writer.
