Think out of the box to get back in the box.

So, after being workshopped I realized that this class is...well, not up to par.
I'm not acting like I'm above the class or anything of that sort!
It just seems like a lot of the people are still in the high school mindset. I was expecting some professional feedback, but all I got back was "blahblahblahblah."
I was told that my piece was "too jumbled" and "needed order"...I completely understand that my approach was out of the box, but you don't always have to abide by every rule strictly.
If everything had order, there would be no chaos, there would be no inspiration, and there would be no variety. Come on now. Order is for squares!
I took a risk with this writing style and you have to think out of the box to get back in the box.
And a lot of people didn't do that. They stuck with the guidelines that they already knew.
Honestly, I felt like I was in grade school.
Sorry, but it's true. Not everyone was ridiculous though. I had some good and informative feedback, and that's what I was looking for.
I'm not going to point any fingers, but some people said things that were just, well, retarded. And they didn't make any sense whatsoever. It's kind of like they were just typing something random so they would have something to turn in.
Sheeeeeeeeeesh.
Has anyone around here picked up a book that's not The Cat In The Hat or something that's above the gradeschool level lately?
