Kurt Vonnegut's advice.....

Found this in FB.

I hope the link works.

"Eight years ago, students at my high school wrote to their favorite authors asking them to visit. Kurt Vonnegut was the only one who responded, writing this beautiful and humorous letter."

You might also see "n/t" in the subject line, which means the subject is the entire message. Formerly, people would use "TSIA" for the same thing: "Title Says It All."

I remember the effect Slaughterhouse Five had on me when I read it right after it was published.
