WOW, I mean really like wow. I am a physics teacher and my girl friend is very much a writer who loves Amy Tan. So this talk was amazing in how it related to both of us. Thank you for sharing this. I am deeply appreciative.

This was a fascinating talk! I think I came by my creative juices a little differently, but some of my processes, and Tan's are much the same.
