Aldous Huxley once compared teaching to throwing endless buckets of water over rows of long-necked bottles.

I recently wrote to a woman who took a travel writing course from me in the spring of last year. I mentioned that I had a story in The Best American Travel Writing 2012, and added that, while teaching about leads one evening, I had read the story's opening paragraph in class.

She wrote back asking if the story began with a young woman reading a book under a tree.
