They call writing a habit…which makes it sound more like chewing your fingernails or checking to make sure the door is locked and the stove is off before you go to bed...

I am a writer, I can tell a story – a good story – actually an excellent story. What I cannot do is grammar. I wrote an essay in 10th grade, and won...
