Borrowed shamelessly from supergee, here are part one and part two of an article by Justine Lee Musk about why writing like a "bad girl" is a good thing. I like her perspective; I'm going to recommend that my Creative Writing classes (of whatever gender) read this.

Years ago I saw a woman wearing a tshirt that I see more regularly now. The front said "Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History." (Laurel Ulrich). At the time it spoke to me on several levels. I hope it speaks to your students. Party on Steve....

That's a lovely T-shirt sentiment... though well-behaved men don't make much history, either; they just have a better shot at it.

Sorry we couldn't be at the Gourmet dinner!

Gourmet dinner was really cool! Given the project was a thanksgiving menu we devised a guest list of foodie folks who were less likely to have family obligations. We would like to do it again...different theme, different time of year. It would be really great if you could join us!
