Yeah, we're doing so well. In terms of, like, parting stuff, on my end, I might go toward, like, first, like, first years or people who are listening to this considering whether to apply to Macalester, if you're obsessed with writing already or, like, you know, you sort of, like, want to do writing, um...just, like, reminding yourself that, like, you've got, you've got time. Um, and, like, I think there's a weird thing with people who, like, start writing in high school or in college, where you, like, hear stories about people who have, like, gotten, like, book deals, or like, gotten published in literary magazines by the time they're like, sophomores or whatever. And then being, like, Well, why have I have not gotten that? Oh, woe is me, does this mean I've made, like, the wrong career choice or the wrong, like, decision in terms of being somebody who, like, wants to write things? Um, and I think it's just like, if you are here because you want to write, then, like, do that, and don't necessarily get swept up in the idea that, like, you need to, like, get published immediately. Um, I was, like, when I when I was a first year, I had, like, a couple of short stories I'd written in high school, I'd had some stuff that I'd written since I started, and I was, like, sending stuff out to like, some literary magazines, and to, like, sort of, like, young arts or, like, scholastic competitions, or whatever. Um, and I was like, man, I have, like, not received any of these things. I must be, like, a bad writer, or whatever. Um, but I was just like, none of that particularly matters, because if what I want to do is write I am, like, writing things. Um, and I had a conversation, again with Michael Prior, a while ago, because now I'm in a place where I have, like, written a bunch of poetry, and there's some stuff I genuinely would like to see published, and I was like, "What advice do you have when you're, like, somebody who is, like, looking to, like, send stuff out for publication for the first time, etc.?" And he was like, "don't just try and get published to get published." Like, have a piece that you really care about, and, like, just submit it to places that you think, like, you would like to see your work in. And if you, like, get rejected from getting published somewhere, or it doesn't work out, then fine, that is completely okay, you have your entire life to, like, write a thing that will be the first thing that you publish. I think there can be just so much pressure in creative writing programs to feel like, if I want to be a writer, I have to get the validation of a publication credit, or I have to get the validation of, like, being paid for my work before I can consider myself a writer, and I just don't think that's useful. And I think it's better to be like, I am somebody who likes writing and wants to write and that is enough. And once you get to a point where you, like, have something you really desperately want to, like, share with a broader audience, then start looking toward that instead of, like, putting the cart before the horse and, like, trying to get published so you can reach a broader audience or whatever.
