You’re like the reverse of me. I was a mag student who plotted newspaper in her life.

I loved Advanced Writing. I took it with MK. (It’s actually the class that edited my book for me). You don’t get a lot of clips from it, but you learn a lot of really stellar techniques. Plus, she hosts dinner parties with area writers and skypes in authors and freelancers from across the country.

I’m a pastor in Bend, OR, who works with young people and found this through a friend who is a Campus Pastor.

I’m posting this on our blog (bendfpyouth.wordpress.com) and two facebook pages (facebook.com/bendfpyouth and facebook.com/bendyouthcollective)

I wish I had had someone that I trusted giving me this advice. I’m sure it would have made my college experience better.

Like the “beach kid” syndrome, we have some really cool stuff here in Bend, and I know that sometimes kids think they are super cool (whether or not they are). I hope this reaches a bunch of people because it is really good.

Thanks,
Greg Bolt

I found this link on the National Campus Ministry FB page and will share it with my students. I wish I had had your insight as an incoming freshman….all those years ago.

Thanks for your thoughts!
