Johns Hopkins, too.

That video is a pure gift of wisdom and inspiration. I love his take on creating and story and life.

"Do something beautiful." Thanks, George, I'm trying. Every sentence is an act of faith and I'm learning to trust and to listen, not only in the tumbled mess of creating but in the process of revising.

The word ‘genius’ has lost all meaning on KZread.

"Do something beautiful." Love this guy.

I love this so much. I keep coming back to it again and again for inspiration and motivation. Thank you for creating this and putting it out to the world.

This is really beautiful.

Beautiful, connected humanity tumbles from every second of this work. Praise be!!!! I keep returning to this and keep receiving from this :D Thank you George, Sarah, Tom and Ken :D

This excellent. Love George Saunders and his writing.

Thanks for your ingenious creativity and inspiration to delve more into my inner thoughts to unravel my stories.

Thanks for this. It will help me write stories

So much good advice about writing and editing in this short video

Suzanne Lummis is luminous. Funny, fascinating and informative. I hope she will also read her own poetry.

Currently in an MFA program, and it's so unfortunate how this open mindedness isn't more accepted. It seems like the more political, judgmental, and insular, the better...

Ouch! And unfortunately it seems that, 3 years later, it hasn't gotten better 😢

I hope I find my savior who will lead me to the success of writing short stories.

Frank snapped at the barista because she reminded him of his dead wife, whom he dearly loved. His dead wife was always misspelling his name.

wow.

Christopher sent me!

Frank actually was an asshole. My father's name was Frank. He made a few mistakes family-wise, mostly because of his personality disorder. He wasn't perfect but I miss him.

“Frank was an asshole, but I really miss him.” There’s your opening line. 😂👍

I love how his Ti logic includes a Te association but also addresses Si sensation. He is clearly an ENTP.

A story can start with a basic premise, which defines the conflict. From that, the main character can evolve. But, at that point, this character mostly calls the shots. And this, more or less, determines the path of the story--including its ending.

Frank snapped at the barista because she reminded him of his dead wife “whom?” he dearly loved

You are correct. And George is correct about Frank. Frank was my father's name and it's true that, at times, he was an asshole (if we're being real).

i mean the second sentence compared to the first sentence and can never be based upon the fact that the same thing has been said it is not as good ???

Why would somebody care about doing something beautiful??

rats and stats...one

its not as good

Love Saunders; loathe Errol Morris imitations.
