School Story:
I remember Professor Evans telling me I needed to be more descriptive when I wrote. I mean, he was teaching literature so of course he would tell us that. I took his advice and, well, that habit was hard to break when I was in school for technical writing. That type of writing requires one to get to the point and not be too wordy. Technical writing does require some description though so what he taught us was helpful. I somehow made it through school but I didn't completely shake what Professor Evans taught us as I still have a tendancy to go on and on and on....... When people at work review my writing I'm often told it's too wordy.
Not particularly a funny or favorite memory, but it sticks out in my mind.
