An essay is a river

Takeaway idea from “The Age of the Essay”

Apparently, when writing an essay, it is okay to take an unexpected direction. It is okay to let an idea take off on its own course. It is okay to correct the river, to nudge it back south when it has gone a little too far east, and then let it flow free again.

This goes against everything I was ever taught in high school.

 

Food for thought.
