I love teaching writing classes in part because they lead me to explain my philosophy of writing. And I never knew I had a philosophy of writing but then I discover, in explaining it, that yes I do. So I’m hearing about it along with the students.

Of course, I unfortunately can't talk about this research topic without having to deal with the (often) racist saying of:
"Jews run Hollywood"

Jews do not "run" Hollywood. There are multiple people of different backgrounds that contribute and act as industry leaders.

I do not tolerate hate.
