Honestly, I don't know where you get off calling yourself a great creative writer. I'm willing to bet you don't even spend 20% of your time reading the work of your peers. Just because you think it's good and you know it's better than people's writing in high school, doesn't mean you're great. Do you have an abundance of friends who write and compare there writings with you? I bet you've hardly read any stories from people who write who are around your same age group. I doubt you have any clue how many other writers there are out there that are as just as good as you.
Last year in my freshman drawing class, I was the best, bottom line. No one had control of the materials as well as me nor could anyone make as reallistic and skilled a drawing as me. But just because I'm better than a class full of freshman hopefuls who don't have much experience, doesn't mean I'm great. There are a fuckload of people at this school that are a fuckload better than me, older and younger students, grad students, and professors.
I've been one of the best artists around wherever I live for my whole life. Guess what, that's mostly because no one else was that great, not because I was. Just because you stick out in your surroundings or in your own head doesn't mean you're great. Good luck getting better with that air.
