Where will you find the best ideas for stories and characters? Where will you find your most original thoughts, or the answers that evade you at the keyboard? Your mind, of course.

In this course, you'll explore your mind in unconventional ways, helping to create richer, deeper writing or perhaps making the writing process easier.

The mind can be a friendlier, more fruitful place than you might think.

Since ballot boxes are on our minds today, we thought we'd reminisce about another important box... The Gotham Box!

Gotham boxes once painted the streets of NYC (and got a fair amount of screen time!). We like to be green where we can, so we moved away from the paper catalogs the boxes used to house, but they're no less iconic.

If you're a New Yorker, do you remember spotting a Gotham box? Let us know! Oh, and try to get out and vote today if you can.
