Thank you, Andy and Carol, for posting a blog on my behalf plugging my own new book. As you both know, it’s always nice to finish a book and see it born, but the gestation of a book is so long that by the time the book takes its first public breath, you’re well on your way into the next book, or the next-next book.
That’s where I find myself today: on my way to my next book, and I have to choose between writing a blog or working on the book. Guess which I’m going to choose.
But don’t despair. I didn’t want to disappoint my 1.5 blog readers today, so here I present to you JK Rowling’s 2008 graduation speech to students at Harvard. It’s inspiring, and it’s an entre into thinking about writing and revision:
Throwing Up Words 
What an inspiring commencement address! I loved it. Plus, watching it allowed me to procrastinate my work for 20 extra minutes:). Seriously, though, it was lovely. Thanks.
