There’s a persistent myth that the arts and humanities are "impractical" degrees. This is profoundly wrong. The ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and understand complex human systems is more valuable than ever in a world being reshaped by AI.

Yesterday I walked 9 holes at The Banff Springs golf course while my kids participated in a youth golf program. Gorgeous day and plenty of time for considering plot holes in my current writing project.

A lot of Americans don't know this, but the winner of the Canadian election will be required live in a small cottage located in the backyard of the palace where the viceroy to the King of England lives.
The cottage just recently got a new wifi router, which was very exciting for all Canadians.

So, just my evergreen advice there, don’t be afraid to just read your query letter.
Anyone who says you need to memorize your pitch isn’t someone you want to work with. You’re not auditioning for your school musical.
