Got my paper back from Gothic...

He liked it, I did well, but... Apparently my writing style leaves something to be desired. I argue, I don't write.

Eh - What the hell can I do to fix that? I've spent so much time driving my tendency towards flippancy out of my prose and learning to structure a coherent and complex argument that my style has suffered. Who exactly is going to teach me this skill? How precisely does one create flowing, exciting, riveting prose?

Damn.
