Many writers, dreading the awareness of how they do what they do will cripple their spontaneity, never study the craft<\/b>. Instead they march along their own path in a lockstep of unconscious habit, thinking it\u2019s instinct. They put in long, tough days, for no matter how it\u2019s taken, the writer\u2019s road is never smooth. But in their secret selves, they know they\u2019re just taking their talent for a walk.<\/span><\/h2>\n
