“I’ve taken music classes from good musicians who don’t know how to teach, and I’ve taken computer programming classes from computer programmers who have no idea how to teach. This is not that. This is a course by a very gifted writer who knows exactly what she’s doing. ”
“One of the most beautiful things that happened in this course is our search for truth — in everything, in the way that we speak about our day, in the way that we are supposed to write, how we are showing up.”
“I’ve definitely never really been in a learning environment where anything that you could do was just gravy. Really, all you had to do was show up. And that was actually true and honest and not a trap. ”
