Um. I think that painter/writer logic might be skewed. Isn’t that like saying cats don’t like water, chimps don’t like water, therefore a cat is a chimp? There’s probably a much better example in a logic class somewhere.

Or would a real painter actually offer advice to another?

I agree with the comfortable chair thing, but I’ve had enough of people worrying about what famous writers are doing, or what their advice is to people they’ve never met about things they’ve never read. Fuck ‘em. There’s too much writing to do. Seriously, would one painter take the advice of another?

The visit was a little too secretive, if you ask me. I was strip searched-twice- before I could even get into the room.

I’m glad you brought up Michael Chabon’s visit and the blog entry about it. The whole visit was so secretive it felt kind of unreal, but the things he had to say about writing and the MFA were really valuable. Fearless leader Carolyn also did a great job of transcribing/paraphrasing Chabon’s answers and defying the no-photos edict. That photo is worth notice for the fact that it has Chabon with the real-life Grady Tripp. (Anyone who doubts this should spend a day or so with Chuck and then read Wonder Boys. You will be sorry you ever doubted me.)
