“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” –Frederick Douglas.

Many discussions with peers have lead me to believe this quote can sum up most of a graduate student's writing life. Our struggles turn into lessons.

I first started to enjoy writing in high school in my freshmen English class on constructing essay. Since then, I have had a strange affection for the form. Even though critics bash it for its convention and supposed lack of creative opportunity, an clean, concise bla bla bla .....but then you'd agree its not what they say as you read now.

You aren't always alone.

Millions of writers are always locked behind doors putting the word to change the world

In your own words @emekanobis Writers are truly solitary spirits.
