Words of Wisdom

So when I taught the Boot Camp session of WIFYR last summer, I asked the students to each share a great piece of writing advice, presented in a memorable way. One of the students, Awesome Shar, gave us each a little blank notebook with these two bits written in the front.

"Put it on paper and save it for later. You might be surprised." (Mike Birbiglia)

"A bad something is better than a good nothing." (Somebody) (Who knew what he/she was talking about)

Good advice last summer. Good advice today. I'm gonna get busy now.

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good bye

Today was the last day of WIFYR. Although I was completely exhausted I still felt . . . sad to see it end. It's been wonderful to spend so much time with people as bright and fabulous and funny as Lucinda, Dale, Neysa, Karen, Rebekah, Shar, Ernest, Christian, Andria, Renae, and Amy. They made me smarter.

Thanks, guys. Catch you later.
