Looking back, I understand that I was teaching myself to write.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Reading taught me how to write.
My mother taught me how to write.
Writing teaches writing.
I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.
People say you can't teach writing, but I think that's nonsense.
I sort of always like to write starting with when I learned how.
One of the things I had to learn as a writer was to trust the act of writing. To put myself in the position of writing to find out what I was writing.
It was my fifth grade teacher who introduced the idea that writing could be more than a hobby for me.
I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.
I'm not a writer who teaches. I'm a teacher who writes.
