Writing and Teaching

Many times, but not always, God puts together writing and teaching skills in the same person. If you're in that group, you'll appreciate what Carl Henry taught to Bruce Johnson about being a writer:

"You see, the difference between an amateur writer and a professional is that an amateur writes something and says, 'Oh, that's good!'. But a professional always thinks, 'That could be better,' because the essence of good writing is rewriting." And then came the clincher, "Bruce, the only thing that stops a professional from continually rewriting a piece he's written is a deadline."
