A closing note
Dear writer, whether you finish this month with fifty thousand words or five hundred, you will have done something brave. You chose your story over every reason not to write it.
Come back to this room whenever you need a spark, a lesson, or a reminder that your voice belongs on the page. I'll be here, cheering you on.
With warmth,
Professor Carter
