Yesterday I ran into this video of a Ray Bradbury lecture. I had heard him speak when I was in high school, and found him inspiring. This video reminded me of advice he had given long ago. Every night, he counseled, we should read one short story, one essay, and one poem. We should also write one short story per week. I am going to try to do this.
I began yesterday. Each day will have an entry on the reading. I haven't decided yet what to do about the short story.

ReplyDeleteGreat! I had a taste of that at UCI one year. I had to make copies of the story and have the class discuss it for a whole class meeting one day. I can still remember a lot of the class meetings from that class. Great discussions.
