Incurable Writer’s Disease During my “first” career, I always carried around the germ of the idea that I could write. After all, I was asking children to write for me. They were writing classroom assignments. They were writing things for me like letters, personal journals, essays, and short stories. I took a series of classes on how to help children write better.

That is the hardest kind of work. You need to recover from that hard work. While I use the word “write”, every author has the choice of how they will do their creative work.
