I found this quote in the LA Times F11 in a story about singer songwriter Mary Gauthier (she of the haunting tune “Mercy Now”):
“All you can write is what you see,” according to Woody Guthrie.
sometimes though we have to do research or deep, critical thinking in order to really see
as you prepare for your midterms, prepare your drafts, prepare for life, I urge you to try to really see.
I will be posting some events going on soon…
