I have ideas of stories I want to write. I know that I have to have some form of English classes to perfect my writing, but I don't want to spend 4 yrs in college to acheive this. Does anyone have advice on what classes I can take to help.

Go ahead and write your stories, Jenny. Don't let the prospect of a college degree keep your dreams on hold. And just so you know, no, you don't need a degree to write.

There are online classes you can take, Coursera has a lot. Also, you can do the Commnity College thing without strifing for a degree.
