A Great Quote

Garrison Keeler read a great quote on The Writer's Almanac today, a quote from Barbara Kingsolver that is so good I want to share it. She once said: "It is harrowing for me to try to teach 20 year old students, who earnestly want to improve their writing. The best I can think to tell them is: Quit smoking, and observe posted speed limits. This will improve your odds of getting old enough to be wise."

Good call Bryce, I read this quote this morning as well and thought it was a good one. Hope y'all are well!

I get the Writer's Almanac emails every day, and I read this very quote out loud to all my colleagues within earshot that day. Love it.
