Week 4 Lab

Notes from "Advice to Writers" by Jon Winokur:

First of all, the most important piece of advice I found from this website overall was the advice from Rainer Maria Rilke, where she talked about how patience is everything.  I feel like this is a such a huge thing when it comes to writing, especially in this class.  If we try and rush through all the assignments, we won't get all the benefits we should get as compared to if we slowly took our time and assured we were only publishing our best works.  This task would require lots of time, proofreading, and even more proofreading! The other piece of advice I wanted to mention was "Perfectionism is the enemy of the people" by Anne Lamott.  This brings me back to when we discussed different feedback strategies and how we need to be able to accept criticism most of the times in order to improve our work; we can't always be perfect all of the time.
