What do you like about this subject? I love writing and especially teaching it. I enjoy helping fellow writers and have seen some of my students go on to be published. It's rewarding and challenging.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? A writer shouldn't cease to learn, and I continue to learn something about writing almost every day.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: In every talented person with a small desire to write-- hides a truly gifted writer, once armed with a little knowledge and good editing. That's my own quote and feel that is the unique aspect of writing that most writers don't know.
