I love to have written

On Friday we had a guest lecturer (Bob McClory) come in and talk to our class about feature writing. It was fantastic. He was an old guy who had a wealth of experiences and stories to share, which was great. It reminded me a bit of why I wanted to head into journalism in the first place. I really needed it.

Anyway, he quoted a lady he knew, who said something that resonated with me...hard. It gave me goosebumps. I looked it up online and found that it actually came from Michael Kanin. Here it is:

"I don't like to write, but I love to have written."

AMEN.
