I'm not a writer who teaches. I'm a teacher who writes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a schoolteacher and a writer. So that's what I do.
When I began to be published, people got the idea that I should 'teach writing,' which I have no idea how to do and don't really believe in.
You'd think it would be easier for writers to make a living, but it's not. Fortunately, I love to teach.
I'm not actually teaching any more, but I am writing pieces for schools all the time, and for kids.
For all its ups and downs and challenges, I love writing. We only grow through adversity, so I welcome the difficulties, knowing bumps in the road are my greatest teachers.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
Reading taught me how to write.
I don't take off time from teaching to write. I take time off from writing to teach.
People say you can't teach writing, but I think that's nonsense.
Writing teaches writing.
