I really do teach writing

Yeah, I’ve taught writing for seven years.  Every semester.  But trying to write a dissertation makes me feel like a total fraud.

I’m sure my feelings are totally natural and “to be expected.”  I just can’t wait to be on the other side of this.  Even to be in the middle of it with more of a clue would be okay with me.

But seriously, after this is all over, I wonder what I’ll say the key to writing productively is.

Hope someday I’ll look back at this post and say, “Yep, I remember being there.  Glad that’s over!”
