By attending to what comes first, we may be better at what comes later. Writing may turn out to be more than an instrumental task, a tool, a means to a desired end. For some it is a way of learning, teaching, thinking. Writing can be, and is often, a great pleasure. And, to be honest, we know that writing can be difficult, if not downright hellish.
Writing can be, and is often, a struggle.
But the struggle does not destroy, but intensifies, the pleasure. We admire good writing, reward it, and seek it out. A concern for writing might affect the way we think of ourselves as lawyers, indeed, might dramatically change our relationship with the law. Learn something about the baggage you carry with you as a writer. Write more, write better, write fearlessly, do it with pleasure and when it is not try to understand the pain.
