You just need to ignore 85% of what Flanagan says, like the love stories comment and other infuriating/offensive things. Some people use their "artist status" and eccentricity as an excuse to say whatever they want. When Flanagan mouths off, remember that she doesn't know who you are, and she doesn't care. Just let it roll. What matters here is the good you get out of the class, not the fun she has harassing you.

I do believe that Flanagan can give good feedback on stories, but you have to seek out the good stuff, and sometimes badger her until she actually tells you something constructive. I remember that Jen had to corner Flanagan in her office and repeatedly (politely) demand editorial guidance in order to get any.

I guess this isn't making you feel more optimistic, is it? :/
