Disagree, and I think it's a bit silly to defend your position with "writing classes." The rules of writing are constantly changing, trends that are treated as absolute writing law come and go, and college writing classes - or wherever you're taking them, really - are only going to proclaim the latest fashions.

On one hand, I would agree that there does exist some semblance of a difference between good writing and bad writing. Technical, as in spelling and grammar, basic comprehensive storytelling and consistent characterization, for example. On the other hand, what defines writing as good, as previous anon said, IS arbitrary. I could very well argue that the ultimate goal of fiction writing is to immerse the reader into a story, invest them in my plot and characters, and tap into their imaginations for days after they've finished my book.

I could say that LOTR is dry and boring, and the writing is bad because it reads like a history textbook. The characters aren't genuine but act as mouthpieces for Tolkein's narrative, and the plot - when he gets around to moving it along - is predictable. Doesn't that make it bad writing? And if Twilight has such a huge impact on a reader, and the writing moved them in a way that leads them to obsession, isn't that then successful writing?
