Unsolicited Writing Advice, Derek Nikitas

Derek Nikitas

I’ve been teaching college for—Jesus, nine years now. It’s the end of the semester down here at Georgia State University, the week when I dole out advice to my fiction writing students because there’s really nothing else left to do. They’d rather I let them out a few minutes early, but I feel obligated to let them loose with some last (and perhaps first) words of wisdom for the semester. I have no idea if my words are wise, but they work for me, so I say them anyway.
