       "Most people have had bad experiences with writing. They have come to dislike it or fear it and usually they avoid it. Few people write by choice. Nevertheless, though good writing takes hard work and skill, I insist on some hopeful truths .... It is possible for anyone to write things that others will want to read. When people manage to say what they really mean and to get themselves into their writing, readers tend to have the experience of making contact with the writer––an experience that most people seek."
