Creative writing

I had an excellent creative writing prof at SF State, Frances Mayes, who told us to descibe an orange in 50 ways. I had no idea why she was asking this, but she taught an invaluable lesson: good writing explores the outermost "boundaries" of language and creativity, exceeds them, and creates new pictures. Orange is "sunset" or "melon" or "tangerine". Your project is "captivating" or "compelling" or "mysterious" but never just "good" or "bad."
