A Note from Eric Butterman!

Hey Vikings,

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed being a part of
Writers Week. What made it for me was the audience, a
bunch of high school students who had tests to sweat
over, were probably hungry as the lunch hour neared,
who spend their day being told what to do -- and yet
gave me their full attention and asked enthusiastic
questions. I meant what I said: you could possibly be
a paid writer now, regardless of your age, and you've
got nothing to lose by trying. I encourage you to find
out more about Cameron Crowe, who became a Rolling
Stone contributing editor when he was only 16!
