>>I hope that thousands of young people watching Wednesday will think, "I could do that," and start writing an hour a day.<<

I think the main limitation is seeing famous people as somehow different and more special/talented/whatever than everybody else. Used to be nobility, now its pop culture stars.

>>Notice that society values and demands interpersonal skills but rarely bothers to teach or respect intrapersonal ones.<<

Why can't people provide better instructions for making friends than "give up your lunch time to make friends?" They could at least /bribe/ me to give up my fun time...

>>They demand things from her that she is unwilling or unable to give, or push things on her that she doesn't want, then blame her for the bad results...<<

This is annoying. If I warn someone not to do something, it is not my fault if they ignore me and end up causing whatever I was warning them against.
