I'm a student at [Case](http://case.edu), and while we of course have an English department, it seems the only kind of writing classes/courses available are for learning to be either a "literary" writer, or a "scholarly" writer. I'm not interested in either of those alternatives -- I'd like to write something that's simply entertaining. The best resource I have yet to find is the [LiveJournal of Jim Butcher](http://jimbutcher.livejournal.com/), which goes over practical fiction construction in some detail (it helps that he's my favorite author :P ). I'm interested in any tips for getting started, perhaps classes or anything, which might be helpful in writing entertainment. Not saying I want to be an author someday -- Programmin' is my trade. But I'd like to have a nontechnical hobby too :)
