Advice from Elizabeth Gilbert
Last night, an aspiring writer asked Ms. Gilbert for some off-beat advice. I’m not an aspiring writer, but two of my best friends are. So I took notes.

“I don’t. I should. And you should. …But I don’t.”
— Elizabeth Gilbert, last night at her speaking engagement in Harvard Square

Amen. Goodnight.
