Hi Brad,
Long time no see! But yes, I'm glad to be back. I don't know what you are planning to do in the course yet, but I'm excited nonetheless.
ON WRITING is one of my favorite book, too. What I love most is that you can feel his passion for writing from every single page!
...I'm so rusty...oh, well.
Anyway, see you on Thursday.
