Great Letters
This letters section is really fantastic today.
What Allie said also stuck out to me:
"There are many, many ways to learn, and many brilliant authors out there who never took a single workshop."
This is absolutely true. I would also add that while there are many brilliant authors who never take a single workshop- I would wager that all of them are capable of taking good advice about their work. It's essential. Hemingway cut the first thirty pages of The Sun Also Rises on Fitzgerald's advice and it certainly made it a better and leaner book and got the reader to the core of the story faster.
