2. Another friend and her team got to screen her film at a documentary showcase Montana this week. (Woot!)

3. Another friend who was a Logan nonfiction fellow (grants to hang out in cabins, eat food other people cook, and work on your documentary/book/article/whatever, as far as I can tell) reminded his Facebook friends that applications are open. (Helpful!)

4. Two super-gifted Daily Tar Heel staffers came to me with panic in their eyes, convinced that they were somehow already behind in their careers. (YOU ARE NOT.)

You’ll notice that I’ve shifted it over to Tiny Letter, in case you want to forward it and your forwarded-to pals want to subscribe. I’m going to make a couple of tweaks in the months ahead — flagging things that are particularly family friendly (for you mid-career folks) or great for new college grads.

Don’t feel bad if you need to unsubscribe — I pulled my distribution list together because of conversations we’ve had and/or things I hope for each of you. Please DO forward to the creative people in your lives.
