"I move through the world so often thinking I have little to offer." Holy cow! The message from your class students (like me in your recent "Grow Your Books" workshop) doesn't seem to be getting through to you. Your work with us is not only improving the books we are writing; your approach and feedback is making us better writers. If it weren't for you, I would have given up on my book long ago. You have helped me believe in it and in myself, even when I had to change direction on it recently. Thank you, Hurley!

LOOK AT YOU! Those curls! Those glasses! That Katie Cotugno book!

But also, look at you directing the flow of your own energies and learning how to circulate them to support not only your own writing, but also the creative work in your community. How glad I am to be part of that community! How excited I am to see what the future holds for you!

Give my deepest affections to the Bold New City of the South.
